Odds were in favour of Rune, @1.45, for sure he made a lot of effort to reach the win.
Probably in a match like this, the better experience of the Danish player was the sparkle for the victory.
Cobolli played very well but wasn't able to close out at the decisive moment.
You know, on paper, Rune is definitely a better player. I actually did not think that Rune was going to face such problems against Cobolli. . Of course, every prediction was going to be in favor of Rune in that match. But the way he had to win the match was definitely unexpected.
In the next match, he is going to play against Kovalik on clay surfaces. Actually, on paper this match also looks to be very easy for Rune. But we saw what happened in the last match. Who says nothing like that is going to happen in the next match? Meanwhile, I am also thinking about if Rune actually got enough rest. He had to go through a lot in the last match. that’s why he might struggle in the next match as well. Tired body like that needs more than two days to properly recover in my opinion.
Kovalik vs Rune winning rate:
