THE ESSENTIAL

  • The Paris-Bercy Masters 1000 final pits Novak Djokovic against Holger Rune this Sunday. 

  • The match starts at 3:00 p.m. and is broadcast on Eurosport 1. 

  • The Serb with 21 Grand Slam titles, winner of Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semi-finals, is the favorite against the young 19-year-old Dane who is playing his first final at this level. 

  • But Rune, who pushed Alacaraz into retirement then dismissed the invincible Auger-Aliassime during the previous rounds, has the weapons to shake up the taulier.

: A little reading to wait?

This is what we wrote Friday evening after the quarter-final between Rune and Alacaraz, the two headliners of a generation well on their way to extinguishing the one above before she even had time to take over from the trio Federer-Nadal-Djokovic.

Paris-Bercy tournament: The Rune-Alcaraz fight, already the image of tomorrow's tennis?


9:30 a.m.: The challenges

Here is a nice clash of generations.

On our left, the boss Novak Djokovic, 35 years old and 21 Grand Slam titles to his name, still impressive as soon as he has the right to set foot on a court.

To our right, the scabby Holger Rune, 19 and biting his teeth into his first real season with the big boys.

The Dane is preparing to play his first Masters 1000 final after having carved up the top 10 (Hurkacz, Rublev, Alcaraz, Auger-Aliassime).

The last step will be the highest for the new terror of the "baby gen", but the opposition is certainly worth devoting its Sunday afternoon to it (anyway outside it's freezing). 

>> We meet around 2:45 p.m. for the warm-up balls before diving into this final...
