Holger Rune out from the Canadian Open in the first round itself
The young Dane gave the most unexpected surprise at the ATP 1000 tournament in Toronto thus far. But, unfortunately, not in a good way at all. At the 2023 Canadian Open in Toronto, Holger Rune was defeated by Marcos Giron in the second round.
Rune has joined Frances Tiafoe, Andrey Rublev, and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the stands. He is the fourth Top 10 player to have already lost in Canada this year. Giron triumphed against the world no. 6 Dane, in 6-2, 4-6, 6-3.

Giron initially controlled the match, winning the first set easily by a score of 6-2. But Rune, who is currently ranked No. 6 in the world, fought back in the second set. The Danish prodigy advanced the match to the decider by winning that set 6-4 without encountering any breakpoints.
Giron took advantage of the opening in the third set to jump out to a solid 5-2 lead. Giron made a mistake when serving to win the match, giving Rune some hope. But it just lasted a moment. Rune attempted a forehand drop shot, but it sailed wide of the net, becoming his 50th unforced error. This error ultimately led to Giron’s victory over the Dane.
