Day 6 at the French Open will continue with the men’s 10th seed, Holger Rune, taking the court against local talent Quentin Halys. The Danish player, Rune, advanced to the third round following a four-set win over Roberto Bautista Agut in the first round, followed by an easier straight sets victory over Emilio Nava in round 2.

Halys enters the third round on the back of a walkover from his first-round opponent, Tomas Machac, in a match where the Frenchman was leading 7-6, 4-1. He followed that up with a four-set win over Miomir Kecmanovic.

Holger Rune vs Quentin Halys Preview

With a 17-11 record this year, Rune has had a mixed year, but his greatest moment came when he lifted the Barcelona Open title after defeating Casper Ruud in the quarters and Carlos Alcaraz in the final. Prior to that, he also made a strong run to the final at Indian Wells.

Rune has good numbers while serving, but his ratio of aces to double faults could use improvement. This year, the Danish player has hit 84 aces and 61 double faults. However, he has won 80% of his service games.

Halys has struggled quite a bit in 2025. With a 7-10 record, his best performance came at the Dubai Tennis Championships, where he reached the semi-final. Despite his losing record this year, Halys has served quite well. He has hit 212 aces with just 63 double faults. But his biggest struggle has been in return games, as he has won only 11% of those.
