PARIS : Sixth seed Holger Rune's poor start in his French Open quarter-final defeat to Norway's Casper Ruud on Wednesday proved costly with the Dane littering the court with unforced errors for more than an hour.

"I tried everything I could to get some rhythm and try to get back on track. Managed to come back in the third, but it's late, you know, when you waste two sets like this."
