The rune double bounce is a concept used in speedrunning that involves a specific movement technique to exploit the game's mechanics and gain an advantage in terms of speed. This technique is commonly observed in platformers or games with similar mechanics, where the player can perform a jump or a bounce while in mid-air. By utilizing the rune double bounce technique, speedrunners are able to bypass certain obstacles or cover more ground in a shorter period of time. To execute the rune double bounce, the player needs to time their jumps and bounces in a precise manner. This involves pressing the jump button at a specific moment during the initial jump or bounce. By doing so, the player can get an extra boost or height with their subsequent jump or bounce, effectively "doubling" their initial momentum.

PARIS (AP) — Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina was devastated about losing his French Open fourth-round match to Holger Rune of Denmark in a fifth-set tiebreaker Monday. He also was mad at chair umpire Kader Nouni for missing a double-bounce of the ball on a point that was awarded to Rune early in his 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) victory.

They were tied at a set apiece and on serve at 2-1 for the No. 6-seeded Rune early in the third at Court Suzanne Lenglen when the point of contention happened. Cerundolo, who was serving at deuce, hit a forehand that skidded low at the baseline and quickly bounced a second time — which normally would have meant that the point was his.

But Rune went ahead and got his racket on the ball, sending it back over the net. At about the same time, No. 23 seed Cerundolo was saying “sorry” to apologize for the odd way his forehand made the ball skim across the clay. Nouni was not immediately aware of the double-bounce, thought the ball was still in play and called Cerundolo for hindrance for talking during a point. That meant Rune got the point, and when he won the next one, too, he had a service break.

“It was unbelievable, because it was a clear double-bounce. I was mad at the umpire because he has to see it,” Cerundolo said. “It’s his fault.”

Double bounce mistake was umpire’s fault and not mine, says Holger Rune

PARIS – It was the umpire’s fault that a double bounce was not called against Holger Rune during the third set of his fourth-round victory over Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo at the French Open on Monday, said the Danish sixth seed.

Rune, who won a tight match in five sets, was 2-1 up and 40-all in the third set when he clearly failed to get to the ball in time. But the second bounce was not picked up by chair umpire Kader Nouni despite being clearly visible.

Rune did not say anything and Cerundolo – who stopped playing, expecting the umpire to call the point for him – was furious with the decision.

“So when I was hitting the ball, I didn’t know, I just ran for it. I saw it after the next point on the TV, and I saw it was a double bounce,” said the 20-year-old Rune.

“But the point already happened and he called the score. So I felt sorry. Sorry for him (Cerundolo). Then I managed to break him. I held serve. Then after he broke me it was close again.”

A fuming Cerundolo, who told the umpire he would get him fined, eventually lost the set. He did battle back to win the fourth, but Rune snatched the quarter-final spot with a 7-6 (7-3), 3-6, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) victory.

“Some umpires make mistakes. Some for me, some for him. That’s life,” added Rune, who was booed by the Court Philippe Chatrier crowd for hitting on the double bounce.

Cerundolo, 24, called it a “huge mistake” by the umpire.

“It was unbelievable with the double bounce,” he added.

“The umpire has to check it again. It is tough to give the point away. It was tough moment. He (Rune) was not good not to give me the point but I understand it with the tension.

“They have to do something with the cameras because you cannot do that mistake. For sure I wish he (Rune) would have given it. if he saw it is bad for him. If he didn’t see it and it was after, I understand.”

“Put cameras – you cannot do that mistake!” Cerundolo calls for video technology after Rune double-bounce controversy

Francisco Cerundolo has called for the extension of video technology in tennis after a controversial double bounce in his Roland-Garros fourth-round match against Holger Rune.

The incident occurred in the fourth game of the third set, with Rune 2-1 up. Cerundolo hit a forehand past a stranded Rune, with the ball bouncing twice before Rune got a racquet anywhere near it. The Argentine reacted accordingly, expecting the point to be awarded to him, but umpire Kader Nouni did not; instead, he penalised Cerundolo, apparently for stopping play.

Afterwards, Cerundolo described the incident as “unbelievable”, and pointed to the number of other sports that were using video technology to clarify such blatant errors.

“I don’t know why in tennis we don’t use it,” he said to journalists. “We have Hawkeye to check the bounces and you don’t have anything to check double bounces or if you touch the net or if you pass the racquet to the other side of the court.”

And he expressed his anger with the official.

“It was unbelievable because it was a clear double bounce. I was mad with the umpire because he has to see it. He has to, I don’t know, check it again and he didn’t do anything, and I don’t know, I think it’s his fault.”

He was less harsh on his opponent. “For the player, it’s tough to give the point away. I don’t know if he was sure [it] was double bounce or not, but it was a tough moment.

“It’s not good that he didn’t give me the point, but I understand what, I don’t know, the tension, and you want to win, and what he did, but I’m really mad with the umpire because they have to do something. Put cameras. Get the chance to look again [at] the point because you cannot do that mistake.”

By doing so, the player can get an extra boost or height with their subsequent jump or bounce, effectively "doubling" their initial momentum. This technique requires a high level of skill and timing, as mistiming a jump or bounce can result in failure or loss of momentum. Speedrunners often spend hours practicing this technique to perfect their execution, as it can significantly decrease their overall completion time.

Rune: ‘This is sports’

Rune was circumspect when discussing the incident in his own press conference.

“Yeah, so when I was hitting the ball, I didn’t know, I just ran for it. But then obviously when I saw it, after he did call it, I saw it after the next point on the TV, and I saw it was a double bounce. But the point already happened and he called the score.

“So I felt sorry. Sorry for him. Yeah, I mean, then I managed to break him. I hold serve. Then after he broke me it was close again.

“You know, this is tennis. This is sports. You know, some umpires, they make mistakes. Some for me; some for him. That’s life.”

Holger Rune's response to the double bounce controversy during his fourth-round clash against Francisco Cerundolo at the 2023 French Open has sparked angry reactions from tennis fans.

Rune came through with a 7-6(3), 3-6, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(7) win over Cerundolo in a closely contested five-set thriller to advance to the quarterfinals in Paris. The clash saw a moment of controversy in the third set when Rune hit the ball after a double bounce, which escaped the chair umpire Kader Nouni's attention.

In his post-match press conference, Rune said he had not noticed the double bounce until he saw the replays.

The 20-year-old's reaction prompted a flurry of reactions from fans online. One fan on Twitter questioned why Rune hadn't conceded the point upon watching the replay.

"The real conversation isn't whether he knew at first, it is why he didn't concede the point as soon as he saw the replay. Integrity is so important to me that I have zero desire to watch him play now," the fan commented.

Another fan criticized Rune's attitude and questioned whether Dane really had not noticed the double bounce.

"This kid is doomed with this attitude. The double bounce is easy to notice when you are playing. Come on!" the fan wrote.
