French qualifier overcomes another top-10 player in Rune for date with the world No. 1
-
CINCINNATI - French qualifier Terence Atmane did not know what to expect, and so it was "pretty insane" to him when he had time to reflect on his impressive performances at the Cincinnati Open.
On Aug 14, the 23-year-old toppled another top-10 player in Holger Rune to line up a semi-final showdown with tennis' world No. 1 Jannik Sinner.
Atmane followed up his victory over the fourth-ranked Taylor Fritz with a 6-2, 6-3 win over the ninth-ranked Danish star.
He will now face the ultimate test against defending champion Sinner, who said he "felt great" as he thrashed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-0, 6-2.
"I don't think any words can describe how I feel right now," the 136th-ranked Atmane said after blasting 22 winners past Rune, 14 of them off his powerful left forehand.
"It's pretty insane to be honest," added the Frenchman, who will move inside the top 100 in the rankings for the first time. "I cannot believe it.
"Being here in the semi-finals of a Masters 1000, breaking into the top 100. It means a lot to me."
