Tennis fans will watch an interesting duel between Norwegian Holger Rune and Swiss Henry Laaksonen in the second round of Roland Garros.

The Swiss tennis player came to Paris in bad shape but managed to pass the first round. On the other hand, Rune has a very good season on clay and he wants to extend the continuity of good games at this Grand Slam as well.

Holger Rune

The Norwegian enjoys playing on clay and his results confirm that best. Holger Rune did not record a good result at the Masters this season – he was defeated in the second round in Monte Carlo, he did not pass the qualifications in Rome, and he decided to skip Madrid.

But he played great in other tournaments. Rune won the title in Munich and he reached the semifinals in Lyon, in the tournament that preceded Roland Garros. His score on clay this season is 18-7, which means he has won 72% of the matches played.

Holger routinely beat Denis Shapovalov in the first round of Roland Garros. He eliminated the 14th seed in three sets and controlled the rhythm of the match all the time. The Norwegian cleared his part of the draw in that way, so he should have two easier opponents in the next two rounds.

Really good performance today 💪🏼 A happy return in Paris after my 2019 title 🔝

Henri Laaksonen

Henri Laaksonen is not playing very well this season on clay. Moreover, he did not achieve a single victory this season on this type of surface before Roland Garros started. He then had a bit of luck in the draw: he got Pedro Martinez as an opponent at the start of the tournament, and the Spaniard is also in disastrous form.

The Swiss won the duel by 3: 1 (2: 6, 6: 4, 6: 4, 7: 6) and he once again showed that he likes this tournament. He made it to the third round last year, and Laaksonen eliminated 11th seed Robert Bautista Aguta along the way, making it the biggest win of his career.

An interesting fact is that Laaksonen has beaten Rune both times in their previous encounters. They played both indoor matches in 2021, and it is interesting that those tournaments were also held in France, Brest and Orleans.
