Another eventful day at the Miami Open 2025. Holger Rune, finalist at Indian Wells 2025, was eliminated in his debut in Florida by the giant Reilly Opelka (4-6 6-3 7-6). The match not only ended in a tight result but the Danish player made headlines again for failing to greet the chair umpire after the match was over. The reason was a complaint about a VAR review. In the tiebreak at 2-1 in favor of Rune, Holger claimed to have been distracted by the sudden lights coming on the court and therefore missed Opelka's backhand winner, which the chair umpire promptly reviewed. However, the umpire ruled against Rune and awarded the point to the American player.
