Yesterday was a night of many surprises in men's tennis. Many thought that Holger Rune would end Terence Atmane's dream, who, since the qualifying rounds, had made it to the quarterfinals of the ATP Cincinnati. The Frenchman easily defeated a Rune who dedicated beautiful words to him on his Twitter account. "I know you from juniors. Tennis is a very tough journey, and I am happy for your performance in Cincinnati and what it means for you in the future. Good luck going forward," commented Rune in a video where Atmane reflects his pride in what he has achieved.
I have known you Terence since juniors, tennis is a tough journey and I am happy for your run here at @CincyTennis and what it will mean in the future for you. Good luck onwards https://t.co/Bym8xS58fX

French, 23 years old and currently ranked #132 in the ATP. No one, absolutely no one, could have thought that Terence Atmane would make it to the semifinals of the 2025 Cincinnati Masters 1000, but this sport is wonderful for things like this. After defeating Holger Rune in the early hours of the morning, with all that entails, Jannik Sinner's next opponent nearly broke down in tears of emotion when asked what this whole week represents to him.
“Right now, it's very difficult to explain how I feel. I am very fortunate to have made it this far. I am in the semifinals of a Masters 1000 and I am going to break into the top100, which means a lot of money for me, something that will be very useful to sustain my career. Now I want to fight in the semifinals; the job is not yet done. I believe I can beat anyone, but anyone can also beat me; that's tennis. Of course, I think I can beat Jannik, otherwise, I wouldn't be here,” said the Frenchman, who is now virtually a top70 worldwide.
