Eastbourne: Ryan Peniston beats Holger Rune at Rothesay International

Ryan Peniston beat another notable name on British grass by fighting back to overcome French Open quarter-finalist Holger Rune at Eastbourne.

The British men's number six beat world number five Casper Ruud on his way to the Queen's quarter-finals last week.

In the final event before Wimbledon, Peniston, 26, won 4-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-1 against Denmark's eighth seed Rune.

"I'm very happy with that. A tough start but I managed to fight thanks to you guys," he told the home crowd.

"Since Queen's it has been madness. A couple of weeks ago was a lot different and things have changed.
