Stefanos Tsitsipas to face teenager Holger Rune in Stockholm Open final

Stefanos Tsitsipas will face teenager Holger Rune for the Stockholm Open title on Sunday.

Tsitsipas, who won the tournament in his only appearance in the Swedish capital four years ago, cruised to a 6-2 6-2 win over Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori in the semi-finals on Saturday.

There will be Scandinavian representation in the final, however, with 19-year-old Dane Rune continuing his excellent season with a 4-6 7-6(1) 7-5 victory over Australian fifth seed Alex De Minaur.

Rune will be looking to win his second ATP Tour title of the season after winning his first trophy in Munich.

Tsitsipas has already booked his place in the ATP Finals in Turin next month, and Felix Auger-Aliassime and Matteo Berrettini both boosted their chances by reaching the finals in Antwerp and Naples, respectively.

Auger-Aliassime is in the top eight as it stands and is eyeing back-to-back titles after lifting the trophy in Florence last week.
