Holger Rune is already feeling the excitement of what awaits him in Paris this summer. It will be the first Olympic Games for the Dane, who has one last preparation event at the ATP 500 in Hamburg. A tournament he doesn't have very good memories of, as he packed his bags in the first round on his last occasion, although yesterday he managed to advance past Marozsan to improve that performance. With his mind in one place and his body in another, Rune answered some questions from the accredited press that was later received by the portal Tennis.net. We are sharing the most interesting parts.

Thinking about the Olympic Games

“The Olympic Games mean a lot to me. The support I always receive from my countrymen is constant, whether through tournaments or on social media, that feeling is something unique and indescribable. Being able to reward them all at the Olympic Games with a medal would be something very special.”

From Hamburg to Paris

“Obviously, the conditions here are not exactly the same as what we will have in Paris, but I believe that with good training and a good week here in Hamburg, I can leave with an optimal result in view of those Olympic Games. I would love to win as many medals as possible, but we depend on the ranking to play mixed doubles with Caroline (Wozniacki). If there is no other option, one medal would be enough for me as well.”

Sinner and Alcaraz

“Of course, I still hope that someday I can reach the level of these two players, the level they have achieved is incredible. What Carlos is achieving at his age is immense, and all I can do is congratulate him for it. Of course, that motivates me to keep working day by day until the day comes when I can also make it to those rounds of the big tournaments. For now, I focus on observing my own development, as I am the only person who can influence my evolution.”

‘Controversial’ tweet from Bori Becker

“The collaboration with Boris worked very well, at least that's how I remember it. Before all that, I was going through a very bad spell, with several weeks of early defeats, so he helped me get back on track with the right mindset. The tweet he posted surprised me, that's true, but it doesn't change in any way the fact that he is a great player and coach, he remains an absolute legend of the sport.”
