Copenhagen – He is one of the up-and-coming, albeit controversial, stars of the tennis scene, but to put it bluntly, Holger Rune (20) hasn’t hit a ball for quite some time.

At the US Open he was eliminated in the first round as a fourth seed, at the China Open he was eliminated in the round of 16 and in Shanghai he suffered a very bad defeat (0:6, 2:6) against the American Brandon Nakashima (22nd). ).
Danish tennis expert Michael Mortensen believes he knows the reason for the youngster’s earnings crisis: Italian influencer and real estate agent Caroline Sofia Donzella.
The two have been a couple since September, at least they have appeared together on Instagram since then. It happened in Monte Carlo, where Rune, like so many sports stars in the world, lives. Donzella sells luxury properties there and also in France.

“It’s his first love and it means very, very much to him. Then it becomes difficult to just concentrate on playing tennis,” Mortensen tells Ekstrabladet.
This is the only way the man can explain the Dane’s sporting crisis: “Something happens off the pitch that means he’s not as focused on the matter as he should be. He couldn’t possibly have been if he lost as much as he did on Friday,” said Mortensen, referring to the defeat against Nakashima.

The development is likely to be a thorn in the side of his extremely ambitious mother Aneke, who is also his manager. When asked by the Danish news agency “Ritzau” she said: “He’s just closed and nervous, he’s not mentally present at all.”
Being reserved is actually not Rune’s thing, as his disrespect on the pitch has already drawn the ire of some opponents.
At the moment, however, he has no sporting arguments for such behavior; things are simply going far too badly for the young man.
