Dane benefited from a gross refereeing error that resulted in a break in his favor in the third set. The fiery Dane totally lacked fair play on a ball that could have been one of the turning points of the 8th final against Argentinian Francesco Cerrundolo.
Rune was careful not to intervene in the debate to restore the truth and offer the gain of the exchange to his opponent. The Argentine ended up resuming his place on the court ironically congratulating the referee. In the aftermath, the Dane hastened to convert his break ball to fly to the score and lead 3-1.
