Danish star Holger Rune comfortably ended Novak Djokovic's journey at the Italian Open 2023 by smashing him out in the quarterfinal round in Rome.
Seventh-ranked Holger Rune defeated frustrated Novak Djokovic by 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 in a rain-interrupted quarter-final clash.
This is Djokovic's second defeat to the 20-year-old Dane. Earlier, the rising youngster had beat the Serb to win the Masters 1000 at Paris Bercy in November last year.
In the semi-final round, Seventh seed Rune will play Norwegian fourth seed Casper Ruud.
French Open runner-up, Casper Ruud sealed his spot in the semi-final round for a second successive year by cruising past Argentine 24th seed Francisco Cerundolo by 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 for a second successive year.
