Holger Rune over the past week has brought tennis lovers from surprise to surprise. He overcame a series of famous players such as Stan Wawrinka, Hubert Hurkacz, Andray Rubleev, Carlos Alcaraz, Felix Auger Aliassime and Novak Djokovic to win the Paris Masters 2022.
Rune was born on April 29, 2003. The 19 -year -old player from Denmark has just written a fairy tale in the land of Luc Lang. It was even more wonderful when he did this after leaving Alcaraz (current No. 1) and Djokovic – the owner of 21 Grand Slam, 38 Masters 1000 prizes including 6 crowns at Paris Masters.
Before Djokovic, Holger Rune showed great bravery and expertise and the spirit of competition that a ten -year -old tennis player rarely had. This is particularly clear in the 11th game of Set 3 – the game that brings the first Masters 1000 title in the career of the boy from the country of fairy tales.
In the game that lasted nearly 20 minutes, Rune was constantly being mentally 'tortured' by Djokovic but he all overcame it. He successfully saved up to 4 breaks before taking advantage of the chance to win the second Championship Point that he had.
Before winning the Paris Masters, Holger Rune was almost 'anonymous' on the tennis map. All attention is for Carlos Alcaraz – the same age and 'sweep' a series of tournaments in 2022, especially the US Open. Before the last Masters this year, Rune only owns 188th place on the ATP rankings.
Holger Rune has started playing professional from 2020. By 2021, Rune has the first ATP title when winning the ATP Challenger in Biella. Late last year, Holger Rune was eligible to attend Next Generation ATP Finals. He ended in 2021 by 103th place on the ATP rankings.
On January 17, 2022, Rune rose to the 99th position and became the second youngest player in the top 100, after Carlos Alcaraz. In April 2022, he won the Bavaria Championship after overcoming more famous players than himself such as Alexander Zverev, Botic Van de Zandschulp …
Before winning the Paris Masters 2022, Holger Rune also reached two other ATP finals in 2022: Sofia and Stockholm Open. He defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas to win the Stockholm Open.
Coming to the US Open 2022, Holger Rune in the third round. This is also his best achievement at Grand Slam tournaments.
