Despite facing a boisterous crowd, the young Rune prevailed with a 6-4, 6-2 victory. This win follows his notable triumphs over Andy Murray and Miomir Kecmanovic in previous rounds, showcasing his potential and determination. Rune will now face Alexei Popyrin in the last 16.

Tsitsipas Eases Through: Fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas encountered little trouble in completing his match against Nuno Borges. With rain interrupting the game on Saturday, Tsitsipas returned to the court on Sunday to swiftly secure a 6-3, 6-3 victory. The 2022 runner-up maintained his composure, winning eight out of the 11 points played, and advanced to the next round where he will face Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego.

As he builds his fitness and form ahead of the French Open, Djokovic aims to claim his seventh Rome title and possibly his 23 Grand Slam.
