Rune apologized for what happened at the US Open that kept him away from Alcaraz

Date:

The danish Holger Rune has gone into a dangerous dynamic. At 21 years old, he stopped competing for the best titles, quickly losing his top-10 status. He occupies the fifteenth position in the ATP rankings, with a downward trend if he does not react in the latter part of the season.

Her performance at the US Open nullified the hint of backlash revealed at the Cincinnati ATP Masters 1000, where she reached the semifinals, until American Frances Tiafoe intervened.

He lost 6-2, 6-1 and 6-4, in one hour and 55 minutes, against the North American Brandon Nakashima. A match inappropriate for the European level, which recently closed another phase with the French coach Patrick Mouratoglouwhich remains the former ATP player and compatriot Kenneth Carlsen.

He was so bad in New York that he apologized to his followers. “What a disappointment (broken heart emoji). The best support, many happy tennis kids, perfect weather, perfect court and tournament and I played extremely bad tennis,” he lamented.

“No offense to my opponent, but only 39% of first serves! There are many unforced errors. It’s what I or anyone else should expect. I need to analyze it. It’s not satisfactory for me or for my fans,” he points out. And send a message of apology and promise at the same time. “I won’t let you down,” he concluded.


He has quality, but with his early exit from the US Open he further distanced himself from his main rival of the generation. Grow up together Carlos Alcaraz, Both have been seen as future stars since they were children, but as the Dane sinks, the Spaniard is looking for a fifth Grand Slam title, a second US Open, a third straight ‘great’ this year.

A huge difference, which also includes Rune’s distance from the Italian Jannik Sinner, world no.

A challenge for the Dane, with both Alcaraz and Sinner waiting upstairs. They know him. He has tennis. Not much patience or solidity.
