Holger Rune is one of the young tennis players with a card to play once Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic retire. The Danish player has so far never managed to reach the final four of a Grand Slam tournament but still managed a gala victory against Novak Djokovic at the 2022 Rolex Paris Masters. About Djokovic, his clan believes that Rune could be a player between Federer and Djokovic in the future. Holger Rune is starting to make a name for himself in the world of tennis. The Danish tennis player has his own style of play, which reminds us – intermittently – of Roger Federer. And he is in any case promised a bright future if we are to believe the words of his clan.
“His explosiveness, his creativity, his sense of the game mark me”
Mike James, Holger Rune’s performance analyst, explains in L’Équipe the qualities of his player: “His explosiveness, his creativity, his sense of the game mark me, but the most important thing is his mentality. He is the ultimate competitor, he has this obsession to win, even in table tennis! Holger is curious, always asks questions and is in work mode all the time. »

“If I had to make a comparison, he could be a mix of Djokovic and Federer”
Mike James even allows himself a comparison which should please Holger Rune : “He sometimes sends us, in the middle of a tournament, a message at 11 p.m.: ‘What do you think of that?’ Holger is Holger, he has his own game. But if I had to make a comparison, he could be a mix of Djokovic and Federer. Novak for repeatability and power, Roger for flair and creativity. This is an ideal, of course. But it would be nice to take half of each. »
