Rune has already played four matches in the current tournament. And if in qualifying he expectedly beat both of his opponents, then in the main draw hardly anyone could have predicted that Holger would submit to the quarterfinals. In the first round, we recall that the Dane simply did not leave any chances to Bernabe Zapate Mirales, without giving up a game to his opponent. And in the second round Rune defeated the Italian Lorenzo Sonego (6-7, 6-4, 6-4).
Barcelona finished in third place last season, leading many to be misled about the potential of the Catalan club. Play more dignified at that moment did not work, but the team confidently started in the new tournament of the top division of Spain. “Blue Garnet” lost Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann, who were replaced by Sergio Aguero and Emerson. After five rounds of the current season, the Catalans have two wins and draws, which brought eight points and eighth place in the standings. Following the victory over Getafe (2:1), the guests shared the tournament points with Granada (1:1). Today Fati, Balde, Alba, Aguero, Braithwaite, Vahe, Dembele and Pedri, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to enter the field.
