Alma Rune, the inspiration of the crack that threatens the future reign of Alcaraz

Rafa Nadal and Alexander Zverev will play in the first semifinals of the 2022 edition of Roland Garros. To know the other two semi-finalists, we have to wait for the results of the matches that this Wednesday will face Andrey Rublev against Marin Cilic and Casper Ruud against Holger Rune, one of the great sensations of the tournament.

After the removal of Carlos Alcaraz, Dane remained the youngest player in the tournament. Born on April 29, 2003, just six days before the Murcian tennis player, Rune starred in one of the tournament’s great surprises in the round of 16 after dropping, in a real match, last year’s finalist, Stefanos Tsitsipas, of 7- 5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

A new sign that we face is a player who is called to achieve great success in the medium and long term in the world of tennis. At the moment he is guaranteed to climb to 28th place in the ATP rankings, a position that will grow to 21st if he reaches the semifinals, to 17th if he reaches the final and 14th if he lifts the title of champion.

Those who followed the televised broadcast of the match against Tsitsipas could notice the presence in the box of a girl who passionately lived up to every score of the young Danish player.

It’s about Alma, his sister, who plays an important role in being Holger where he is. And it was the girl who woke up with tennis fever in her brother, who wanted to follow in his footsteps when he started training in his childhood.

Eventually, Alma decided to give up her dream of devoting herself professionally to tennis to start in the fashion world. and being one of his brother’s biggest fans, which he keeps track of in every tournament he can.

So far, Holger faces a unique opportunity to stand in what will be his third semifinals in just one month.after the achievements in Munich, where he took home the title, and those in Lyon, where he lost to Cameron Norrie.

A solid career already, although not reaching the brilliance of Carlos Alcaraz We think we face the main characters of the next great duel in world tennis.

Both have known each other from their time in the lower categories, where they even formed a doubles pair.
