Holger Rune reveals he would love to meet the great Roger Federer. Rune, 19, met the Swiss tennis icon once in the past when they trained together at the 2019 Atp Finals.
For a second meeting, Rune says he ‘wants to meet Federer for real’ this time around
. “I would like to meet Roger Federer again. I met him once, but I want to meet him for real“, Rune said in a video for the ATP.
Rune regrets not having played against Federer.
Federer, who retired after the 2022 Laver Cup, has only played in a few tournaments in his last two and a half years at the professional level.
“ I played with Roger Federer. I trained with him in the Nitto Finals in 2019, but never played a game against him. He’s the most stylish player I’ve ever seen on a tennis court, so I think I’d be very inspired to play against him.“, Rune told Gio Journal recently.
Rune, who is now a Masters champion and a top 10 member, was first a fan of Rafael Nadal before becoming a fan of Federer. “First I was a Rafa fan. He was number one at the time.
I had Rafa posters all over my room. Then I became a Roger fan and later I was a fan of several players. To be more specific, I’m a fan of Verdasco’s forehand, Zverev’s backhand, Novak’s comeback, Roger’s moves, Rafa’s fighting attitude” When asked who was the best player of all time between Federer, Nadal and Novak DjokovicRune replied that it was “impossible to answer this question”.
“It is impossible for me to answer this question. Since I started looking at specific aspects of certain players, I think every player has something special to look up to and look up to.
If we consider the number of victories, it is certain that Novak, Rafa and Roger are the record holders and, in this sense, the greatest”, said Rune.
