Holger Rune is experiencing one of the best moments of his career on the grass at Wimbledon. After having had to work a lot during the previous months, the Danish racket reached the quarterfinals with great authority. It is for this same reason that he took advantage of the post-game press conference to analyze his performance in the island championship.. He also wanted to leave a brief analysis on his rival, whom he admits to wanting to face the being of the same age.
On the high presence of young players in the final rounds
“It’s great. It’s a good feeling. It shows that the young players are doing a great job. For me it’s great. It’s great for him too I guess. Being able to play the quarterfinals against a player your same age, at the top of the table, is incredible. I’m looking forward to that game. I even looked at him when he was in the first round.
The qualities of Carlos Alcaraz are worth admiring
“He has always been a very passionate player on the court, I would say, with a lot of energy. A great forehand also in youth. I think he is the same, but much better now. It is the same, only he has improved much, much and very fast. I’ve said it before: it’s great to see so many young players starting to do really well on tour.«.
He wants to repeat doubles with the Murcian
«Yes, we played doubles once at Petits As. Hopefully we can do it againbut now we are going to fight between us».
On the support he receives from his box on the track
«Yes, it was incredible. The overall support on the court was incredible, again for both players. Really cool. The support from my box today has been one of the best. We also talked about it later. They had a lot of fun. It has been great, because today I was very focused, ready to fight until the end. My mother was delighted.”
Give everything because this tournament is once a season
«As we all speak in the team, there is Wimbledon once a year. You have to go all out, do whatever it takes to win and put your heart out there.. I feel very, very privileged to have a team and a family that support me from the bottom of my heart. I felt it especially today, but of course I always feel it. But today I really felt it.”
The memories he has of that double with Carlos Alcaraz
“It’s actually funny. It’s funny that you ask the question because obviously we’re two singles players, he would call us. When a singles player plays doubles, they want to cover the court by themselves. We both try to do it a bit, which is fun. Again, it was good, because he’s amazing. The more shots he could hit, the better. we play well together. I think we reached the semifinals, if I’m not mistaken. I sure would like to play doubles with him again. I know he doesn’t play a lot of doubles, neither do I. But maybe one day we’ll get a chance to play.”
