Holger Rune engineered another massive upset of Novak Djokovic. Let’s go inside the numbers of the Dane’s latest takedown of the 22-time major champion.
2-1 – Rune improves to 2-1 lifetime against Djoikovic, having earned victories over him in the Paris final last November and today at Rome.
2004 – With Djokovic’s loss, Sunday’s Rome final will not feature Djokovic or Rafael Nadal for the first time since 2004, spanning a streak of 18 consecutive Rome finals with either Nadal, Djokovic (or both) competing for the trophy at Rome.
One of the most extraordinary sporting streaks comes to an end…
