The Dane, as in 2022, lost in the quarter-finals of the French Open against Casper Ruud.
Purple dark circles, shortness of breath, Holger Rune physically quickly showed that he had left feathers in the previous rounds and that his duel with Casper Ruud would be a test. The Norwegian had planned to turn the match into a showdown. He had his rival to wear. After having collected the unforced errors in the first two sets, the Dane is, with pride, with the guts and the support of the public, looking for a little hope in the 3e set. Before losing 6-1, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.
«I got off to a very bad start, I couldn’t find my level in the first two sets. Then I found some rhythm and was able to put myself under pressure but it was too late against a great player like him. I was not there in the first two sets. I didn’t feel good, I didn’t play well. My blows went in all directions. That’s life…I can’t always find my bestsummed up the frustrated young Dane.
The talented Dane (20) is still waiting for a first Grand Slam semi-final. Generous but unpredictable. Talented but irregular, he still needs to get his game and his moods in order for his incredible energy to take him even higher. Looking at the semi-final between Ruud and Zverev, the Dane assured: “It’s hard to say. Casper is the favorite. But Zverev is coming back very strong after his injury.»
