Marozsan sends shockwaves through Miami with one-sided victory over Rune
Fabian Marozsan beat Holger Rune 6-1, 6-1 in Miami. He will face Australian Alexei Popyrin in the next round
Fabian Marozsan knocked out sixth-seeded Holger Rune 6-1, 6-1 to reach the third round of the Miami Open in what was a huge shock at the Hard Rock Stadium.
The result alone is an upset, but it was the manner of the Dane’s defeat that most raised eyebrows. Marozsan, famously Carlos Alcaraz’s conqueror in Rome last year, played exceptionally to sweep past Rune in a one-sided and dominant display.
This defeat equals Rune’s worst loss at ATP level, while Marozsan is now 3-1 in the win-loss record against top 10 opponents.
Marozsan, ranked No 57, will face Alexei Popyrin next after the Australian upset Jiri Lehecka earlier in the day.
Ahead of his victory, the Hungarian defeated American qualifier Aleksandar Kovacevic (6-3, 6-2).
