Holger Rune He is one of the outstanding youngsters of the new litter, called «Next Gen». At his young 20 years, he is beginning to roar loudly on the front pages of the men’s circuit. Although he still lacks aspects to polish, such as conduct, he is close to contesting the top. In his second appearance in London, the Dane showed an improvement in his game on grass, beating the likes of Davidovich Fokina and Dimitrov. After his defeat against Alcaraz, with whom he had never lost in Juniors, he had an interesting exchange with the journalists present.
Not being able to compete 100%
“This morning I wasn’t feeling very well when I woke up. But then again, it’s normal. You don’t feel good every time you get up. But, yes, I had to do everything possible to feel better for the match, but I didn’t have the same energy that I normally have when I play. I did everything I could”.
party sensations
“A little disappointed. I didn’t feel very good in today’s game, but I did everything I could not to disappoint the crowd. I tried to fight until the end. I didn’t feel like the other days when I woke up this morning. But it’s part of it. She had to do her best and see if she had a chance.
“I feel like whoever took the first set had a huge advantage. I felt good after losing the first set because it also happened to me against Grigor. I said to myself: “Okay, I’m going to try to find my way in the game.” But he gained more confidence with that set. I don’t. I think if I had won the first set it might have been different.. But I did not. He picked up momentum and began to play better.
A rivalry with Alcaraz?
“I think it’s great. It’s great that we’re so close in age. I hope that we can continue, that we can continue at this level for many years. He is fit. I am in shape. I think we have what it takes to play many more battles. He also told me after the game that we will play many times. I hope we can continue at this level for many years«.
About the Hopman Cup, which takes place from July 19 to 23
“Give me a break. I’m kidding (laughs). Obviously my mind hasn’t crossed that tournament yet. I know it’s next week. I guess I’ll travel back home, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after, then I’ll get some rest and then I’ll play that. Obviously now I’m not super happy. But yeah, we’ll see.”
