In April, Rune received a wild card to the Bavarian International Tennis Championships, where he defeated world No. 3 Alexander Zverev in the second round for his first top 10 wins in his career in straight sets to advance to his third ATP quarterfinal. He then overcame Emil Ruusuvuori and Oscar Otte to reach his first career ATP singles final.

There, his opponent, Biotic van de Zandschulp, was forced to retire with chest pain with the score line at 3–4, leading the 70th-ranked Rune to become the tournament’s third-youngest champion in the Open Era after Guillermo Perez-Roldan in 1987.
