Casper Ruud beat Holger Rune 6-1, 6-2, 3-6,6-3 in the quarterfinals of Roland-Garros on Wednesday. The Norwegian joins Germany's Alexander Zverev in the last four.
The other semi-final will offer the shock anticipated since the draw, between Novak Djokovic and the world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz. At 24, Ruud will play in the third major semifinal of his career. He has won the first two, already at Roland Garros and the US Open in 2022.
