Holger Rune spoke to the press after securing his place again in the fourth round of Roland Garros for the second consecutive edition. The Dane referred to the fact of having advanced to this instance without playing a game (in second), his real chances of winning the tournament, and his link with Patrick Mouratoglou.

Advancing without playing in the second round
“It’s not ideal, but it is what it is. There is nothing to do about it. You have to take it as it is, and try to imitate a real game day, to get the same sensations that you would normally have.. Then also, the joy of having extra energy, because I’ve had it now (against Olivieri). Now it’s time to get back to normal and prepare to go out again.”
The chances of winning this Roland Garros
“Time will tell. We’ll see. Obviously I think I can do it. I have to play my best tennis, also be in my best state of mind to achieve it., and I have to take one game at a time. Luckily I haven’t had to use a lot of unnecessary energy during the tournament so far. I still think I can play better, which is good. I am in the fourth round and I can play better. Obviously the matches are going to get more difficult from now on, so I have to go one step further as well.. I think I can, but it’s not enough, you have to make it happen. Time will tell”.
The presence of Mouratoglou in his box every game
“He is here with me. he is a great coach. Especially in matches, he is good at giving advice. Before games, it helps me get psyched up the way I want to do it, work on some things. We have a great relationship and I’m glad he’s here with me.“.
