Holger Rune on Facing Novak Djokovic: Belief, Respect, and Possibility

Guest by legend Jimmy Connors in the latest episode of his podcast « Advantage Connors »Holger Rune spoke about his state of mind when facing Novak Djokovic, whom he beat twice in five confrontations.

“When I step on the field, I strongly believe in my skills and what I can do on the field. I respect my opponent, but I will never be afraid. When you tell me: ‘you know, playing against a guy who has 24 Grand Slams…’. I think: ‘Yes I know, but if I focused on that I would have already lost the match’. So I can’t allow myself to have these thoughts in my head because, on paper, it’s impossible to beat him, but in real life, anything is possible. I know it’s the best, but even the best can be beaten. That’s what I think “.
