He seized his third ATP title, with each of those coming in 2022. Rune, who started 2022 with a world ranking of 103, breached the Top 10 on Monday. Here's more.

    Key stats from the match

Notably, he converted each of his three break points. Rune seized a total of 92 points, including 68 from serves to outclass the six-time Paris Masters winner Djokovic.

    In R64, Rune stunned Stan Wawrinka 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(3). He trounced 10th-seeded Hubert Hurkacz and seventh-seeded Andrey Rublev in straight sets in R32 and R16, respectively. He was handed a walkover by Spaniard Alcaraz in the quarter-finals. Rune then hammered eighth-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada 6-4, 6-2 in the semi-finals. Lastly, he overcame Djokovic to win his maiden ATP 1000 title.
