Day of sensations: Medvedev is also thrown out

First of all, on Monday in Paris, last year's finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE-4) had to say goodbye to the young Danish star Holger Rune and in the night session, world number two Daniil Medvedev from Russia, who looked very strong in the first rounds, went against Marin Cilic (CRO-20 ) smoothly in three sentences.

The 19-year-old Rune, who recently won his first ATP title in Munich, defeated number four seed Tsitsipas after 3:01 hours with 7:5,3:6,6:3,6:4. This is the first time he has reached a major quarter-final, as has his next opponent, Casper Ruud from Norway. Cilic makes short work of Medvedev The fact that the 33-year-old Cilic made it into the round of the last eight against the more highly rated Medvedev was unexpected. Especially in this clarity: Cilic was 6:2,6:3,6:2 after just 105 minutes, although Medvedev had not lost a set in the first three rounds. Cilic celebrated his first victory in the fourth duel with the 26-year-old, current US Open winner.

In the afternoon, Ruud, seeded number 8, sent Poland's Hubert Hurkacz (No. 12) home after 2:31 hours with 6:2,6:3,3:6,6:3. This means that there will be a duel between two Scandinavians in the quarter-finals: Ruud has played against Rune three times so far and has won all three encounters without losing a set. The Norsker last won a few weeks ago in Monte Carlo with 7:6(5),7:5.

In the evening, Russian Andrej Rublev, seeded number 7, benefited from the submission of Jannik Sinner (ITA-1) from Puster with a score of 6,6:4,2:0:11. The South Tyrolean had to stop due to a knee injury.

The big men's quarter-final clash between Novak Djokvic and Rafael Nadal was scheduled for Tuesday in the night session (from 21.00 p.m.).
