Paris Masters 2022 final result: Danish teenager Holger Rune stuns six-time champion Novak Djokovic to win his first Masters 1000 title

Incredible! Rune fends off FIVE break points before a delicious stun volley earns him Championship point.

The teenage Dane blows it with a double fault and then swats away a sixth BP before finally dragging himself over the line on his second opportunity to win the Paris Masters.

Shock on? Rune cranks up the heats and calls for the crowd to make some noise at 30-30. He follows up by clocking up a break point and this time Nole buckles, lashing a forehand well wide of the mark.

Rune will now serve for the title.

Nerves of steel! Holger opens with a stunning 1-2 punch and doesn’t blink from there. It remains anyone’s title!

It’s been a superb battle but we are coming towards the climax now. Djoker holds to 15 and is now one break from victory. Rune cannot afford any slip now…

That was a cracking game. Djoker looked to up the ante with a backhand winner on the stretch as he turned 40-15 into an opportunity at deuce. Rune refused to cough it up though and nailed a beauty of a backhand up the line before luring a surprising forehand error out of the Serb to level once more.

It’s edgy stuff but Djokovic does enough to dig out a hold to 30 and nudge the board as we enter the business-end of the set.

All square! Rune is frustrating the life out of the former World No.1 right now. The Dane lights up the court with a wonderful drop-shot-backhand pass combo at 30-30 before consolidating with a hefty serve.

Wow! That wasn’t in the script. Nole can’t get the job done at 40-30 as Holger passes him with a scorching backhand up the line.

The Dane redlines with a stonking return and then defends brilliantly to eek out the break back.

How many times have we seen this? Djokovic is almost inevitable as he locks in on the return and lures a succession of errors out of Rune.

The Dane coughs up two break point and implodes on the first of them with another untimely double fault.

No danger there. The server continues to reign supreme in the early sparring of this decider.

Whatever you can do… Holger follows suit with a strong hold to 15. This final is finely poised right now!

After the frustration of that second set, Djokovic steadies himself and produces a statement-hold, slapping away an impressive smash as he took the game to 15.

There’s no nerves there! Djokovic can’t make any impact at all as the 19-year-old demonstrates his full repertoire to tie the final.

It’s another routine hold for the loss of one point and Djoker will have one last bite at breaking back in this set. Will Rune’s nerve hold?

Rune continues to play some superb tennis in this second set and it’s leaving Djokovic looking to the heavens with hands on hips. The Dane is one game away from taking us the distance!

The reigning champion stays firmly in touch with a rapid clean hold.

The teenager nods at his camp as he takes a seat following a swashbuckling hold to love. He took a while to settle into this final, but he’s certainly having a say right now.

Nole swiftly halts the run of games against him, gliding down a delightful wide serve to clinch the hold to 15 and get on the board. Still just the one break in it.

Holger has arrived! The Dane has belatedly found some of his recent form and it’s paying dividends in this second set. Some clutch serves do all the damage as he consolidates from deuce to make it three games in a row.

More frustration for Djokovic. He balloons a forehand way long from the fore court to cough up a break point and follows it with another surprisingly wayward strike.

Match on?
