Rune Saves MP Before Beating Bublik
World no. 7 Holger Rune got his Madrid Open debut off to a good start after the 20-year-old withstood 13 aces and saved a match point in the deciding set tiebreak, before clinching a 6-1, 4-6, 7-6 (11-9) victory over Alexander Bublik.
With the win, the Dane extended his current streak to five matches. He had also saved multiple match points in the final of the Munich Open last week. Rune had beaten Botic Van de Zandschulp in the final to capture his fourth title from seven finals.
Rune is 22-8 overall this season and 8-1 on clay courts, thanks to the two finals on the surface. Rune had gone on to reach the title clash in Monte-Carlo, but he failed to bag the title after he went down to Andrey Rublev in three.
Rune, who had a first round bye, won 86% points on the back of his first delivery. He, too, struck 7 aces, though six fewer than Bublik. After having started well, Rune will be looking for another win on Sunday, which will extend his current unbeaten run to six matches.

Davidovich Fokina Ousts Ramos Vinolas
No. 29th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina moved into the third round in Madrid for the first time after he defeated fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vnolas on Friday.
Davidovich Fokina conceded a break each in the two sets against the world no. 60, however, he himself broke Ramos Vinolas twice in each set to claim a 6-3, 6-4 victory.
The win helped improve the world no. 35’s season record to 15-11. He has reached in as many as five quarterfinals this year but Davidovich Fokina is yet to go beyond that stage. On clay, Davidovich Fokina produced his biggest result last year, when he made it to the final of the Monte-Carlo Open, only to fall to Stefanos Tsitsipas.
He finished last year with an 11-8 clay court record. This year, the 23-year-old is 4-3 on the surface so far. He had made it to the last eight in Estoril and Barcelona but failed to go beyond that stage.
Having started off well against Ramos-Vinolas, he will be hoping to build on that start but faces an in-form player in the third round.
Rune v Davidovich Fokina Prediction and Tip
Rune is in splendid form at the moment and it would take a massive effort for Davidovich Fokina to knock out the world no. 7. Rune should win this match in three sets.
