Rune Powers Past Khachanov to Reach Barcelona Open Final

Posted : 20 April 2025

Holger Rune delivered a commanding performance to defeat Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-2 and secure a place in the Barcelona Open final. The Danish player, ranked 13th in the world, continued his impressive form after ousting defending champion Casper Ruud in the previous round. Rune dominated the first set, breaking Khachanov twice and never facing a break point himself, taking the set in just over thirty minutes.

 

In the second set, Rune continued to apply relentless pressure, breaking the Russian early and swiftly establishing a 3-0 lead. Although Khachanov fought off two break points in the sixth game, he was ultimately unable to contain Rune’s intensity. Rune sealed the match with a well-executed passing shot in the final game, earning his first appearance in a Barcelona Open final.

 

Reflecting on the match, Rune praised his strategic play and shot selection, noting his ability to keep his opponent under constant pressure. Hitting 20 winners and committing only 13 unforced errors, the 21-year-old said he was pleased with his level and adaptability throughout the match.

 

 Awaiting him in the final is either world number two Carlos Alcaraz or French seventh seed Arthur Fils, with Rune anticipating a challenging contest regardless of the opponent.
