A physically strained Holger Rune crashed out of Japan Open in the quarter-final when he lost to the American Jenson Brooksby 3-6, 3-6 after making a string of unforced errors which proved costly in the end. <\/p>\n

Holger Rune<\/a> bowed out of the Japan Open when he lost in the quarter-finals of the ATP 500 tournament in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Early on Sunday, he lost to the American Jenson Brooksby<\/a>, No. 86 in the world rankings, 3-6, 3-6.<\/p>\n

It was otherwise a match that Rune had every chance of winning, but he allowed himself to be beaten by adversity in both sets.<\/p>\n

Rune was otherwise seeded third in the tournament and had the prospect of a semi-final against the American Taylor Fritz<\/a>, but now it will be Brooksby who will meet his compatriot instead.<\/p>\n

Rune otherwise seemed in great spirits from the start. He played his way to several early break points, but Brooksby was at his best when he was serving and volleying.<\/p>\n

Instead, it was the American who gained the upper hand in the match by breaking Rune to 4-3 after the Dane made a string of costly mistakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rune gave away a break point by smashing the ball into the net and followed up with a double fault.<\/p>\n

The break knocked Rune off his stride, and Brooksby easily secured the next two games and the set 6-3.<\/p>\n

However, Rune came out well in the second set, where he finally got a break to take a 2-1 lead. He just wasn’t able to hold on.<\/p>\n

Brooksby turned 1-3 into 5-3 in a period when Rune looked easy to frustrate. The Dane complained several times to his camp, which included Lars Christensen and his mother, Aneke Rune.<\/p>\n

Holger Rune had the chance to break back to make it 4-5, but Brooksby saved and secured the win on his first match point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A physically strained Holger Rune crashed out of Japan Open in the quarter-final when he lost to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168114,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-168113","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-tennis","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
