Terence Atmane faces Holger Rune today in a Cincinnati Open quarterfinal that pits an underdog against seasoned elite form.
Atmane, ranked world No. 136 and a qualifier, continues his remarkable rise — beating the likes of Taylor Fritz, coming back from a set down.
The 23-year-old Frenchman is now the first player from qualifying to reach the quarters of a Masters 1000 since 2022. His aggressive baseline play, remarkable poise, and fearless belief have made him the revelation of the tournament.
Rune, the world No. 9 and seventh seed, counters with top-tier consistency and power. He enters this match yet to drop a set in the event and remains one of the fittest, fastest players on tour. Contrary to expectations, the Cincinnati heat and humidity have not diminished his play.
Rune’s ability to absorb pressure and control rallies will serve him well against Atmane’s daring game.

Prediction
Rune in 2 straight sets. While Atmane’s breakthrough form and fearlessness have captivated Cincinnati, Rune’s experience, pace control, and consistency are likely to prevail. Look for Rune to use his footspeed and tactical precision to manage Atmane’s aggression efficiently.
