Holger Rune vs Quentin Halys Prediction 5/30/25 French Open Tennis Picks

Holger Rune and Quentin Halys meet in the third round of the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros. The match is scheduled for Friday, May 30. Here’s our Holger Rune vs Quentin Halys prediction. This preview will also include a Holger Rune vs Quentin Halys pick.

Holger Rune Preview

Holger Rune is the 10th seed competing in his fourth French Open main draw. Rune has reached the second week at Roland Garros in each of his last three trips, making the quarterfinals twice. This week, he started his campaign with a four-set win over Spanish veteran Roberto Bautista Agut. In the second round, Rune played American Emilio Nava during the night session. The Dane won in straight sets. He required two hours and 23 minutes to register a 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 victory. Rune saved a couple of decisive breakpoints at 3-4 in the second set before he won the tie-break.

Rune hit 29 winners and 26 unforced errors in the match. That included four aces and three double faults. He landed 66% of first serves and won 73% of first serve points (47/64). Rune won 64% of second serve points (21/33) and saved seven of nine breakpoints in total. He improves to 8-4 in this year’s clay-court swing. Rune has now won three of his last five matches.

Quentin Halys Preview

Quentin Halys is ranked 52nd in the ATP rankings and is unseeded. He started the French Open with a retirement win against Tomas Machac. Halys led 7-6, 4-1 when the Czech quit. In the second round, Halys took out Miomir Kecmanovic in four sets. Halys recovered from a set down to beat the Serbian 4-6, 6-3, 7-6, 7-5.

Halys has won his opening two matches at the French Open as a +200 and +133 underdog respectively. Reaching the third round is the best result at his home Grand Slam, having lost in the first round six times in his career. Despite this personal best run, Halys is only 4-5 on clay this season. He is yet to win complete back-to-back matches since February when he made the semis of the Dubai Championships.

Holger Rune vs Quentin Halys Head-To-Head

Rune and Halys have met once on tour. Rune won their only meeting in the third round of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships in five sets. This will be their first meeting on clay.

Holger Rune vs Quentin Halys Prediction

I think Rune wins this, but decent value lies with the sets spread. This could easily go to four of five. It can be a bit daunting to face French players at the French Open. So, Rune will take some punches here, but he’s got the endurance and resilience to withstand it. He’s been battle-tested, but I reckon he’ll just figure out a way and take control of this match. It’s on clay, so Halys’ groundstroke consistency will eventually wane and Rune will use his extra yard of pace to tire him from the baseline. Give me Rune in four.
