🤪Rune's All England Club campaign was ruthlessly ended by Novak Djokovic in the fourth round, beaten in straight sets by the eventual finalist.
🌺The Dane gave himself little time to lick his wounds and has quickly returned to the court and returned to form with his debut in Hamburg.
🔴Looking for his first ATP Tour title of the year, the second seed followed up a straight-sets win over Fabian Marozsan by defeating Marco Trungelliti 6-4 6-3.
⭕"It's been very intense since Wimbledon," Rune said. "I only had one day off, actually.
𒈔"I was like, 'I don’t want to rest, I want to go straight back to practice', because I was very disappointed.
🎃"I went straight back to work on the things that needed to be done, and now I have the chance to train those things in matches."
🌳Next up will be Arthur Fils, who booked his last-eight place by beating 2023 Hamburg finalist Laslo Djere 7-6 (7-3) 6-2.
🥀Top seed Alexander Zverev remains a threat in the top half of the draw, however, and he will face Zhang Zhizhen in the quarters.
