Watch: When Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune played doubles together in junior tennis

Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune compete together

Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune are two teenagers who have made it to the French Open quarterfinals. Their run to the last eight marks the first time since the 1994 French Open that two teenagers have made the quarterfinals of a Slam.

A video from 2017 of the duo playing doubles together in Les Petits As recently surfaced on social media. The two players have come a long way since the famed tournament in 2017.

Les Petits As is a junior tournament held in Tarbes, France. It's run by the ITF and has a number of title sponsors like Lacoste and Head. Many of the tournament's past winners have gone on to win Grand Slams, notably Rafael Nadal, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Michael Chang, Martina Hingis and Bianca Andreescu among a few others. The tournament is held in the last week of January.

Holger Rune also had a good claycourt season coming into Roland Garros, winning his maiden title in Munich and reaching the semifinals in Lyon.
