Norway's Casper Ruud beat Denmark's Holger Rune 6-1, 6-2, 3-6,6-3 in the quarterfinals of Roland-Garros on Wednesday. The two Scandinavian players had already faced each other in the same round of the Paris Grand Slam a year ago, with the same outcome, also in four sets.
The other semi-final will offer the shock anticipated since the draw, between Novak Djokovic and the world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz.
