Just like in his individual career in recent months, this 2025 Davis Cup weekend has also been full of ups and downs for Holger Rune, a rollercoaster where the young tennis player once again shows that he still has many aspects to improve upon to take a step forward. Today he managed to win against Kecmanovic, but Rune complicated things for his country by falling to Medjedovic whom he couldn't defeat. Despite Moller coming to Denmark's rescue, the feelings are not entirely positive for a Rune who leaves many doubts.

"The first set was good on my part. It's exactly what I've been training for in recent days. It was a very satisfying set to play, it gave me a lot of confidence. I was a bit unlucky at the beginning of the second set and he served well, so credit to him. In the third set... not to take credit away from him, but it was a disaster on my part. I'm still a bit shocked by how I handled the third set. Normally, I find more solutions. It was one of those days, but I'm disappointed in not finding a way," said Rune after losing to Hamad in the third set, as reported by Ekstra Bladet.

"I completely lost the feel for the ball. It's a sensation I haven't experienced very often in my life, but it's a learning sensation I need to improve on in improvisation. It's a bit of a strange sensation. Sounds boring, but I just played poorly. There's not much to say about it. It was simply a poor level on my part."

Confident in regaining his form

"I know the level I can play at is very, very high. So, it's also a strange feeling to reach my lowest level, which I believe I hit in the third set. Even below my lowest level," said a Rune who was able to redeem himself with a hopeful victory, but knowing that in the end his team couldn't progress in the Davis Cup due to that inexplicable defeat.
