Rune, on Jarry: "Under normal conditions, he would win nine out of ten times"

Everything pointed to this Wimbledon 2025 being a turning point for Holger Rune, who was not in his best form. Inconsistency has become a part of the Danish tennis player's game, despite him remaining in the Top 10, but now risking his near future.

Although leading by two sets to zero, Nico Jarry ended up coming back against a physically affected Holger who was eventually eliminated from the British Grand Slam. Similar to Stefanos Tsitsipas, Rune deals with an injury that flares up at certain times, posing a new issue for the Danish player, as he explained in a brief press conference.

The key moment when everything changed

"I think I started the match well, playing good tennis. Then the third set was a bit unfortunate. In the fourth set, I started to feel the knee and received treatment. From that moment on, I was never able to serve or hit my backhand the way I did in the first two sets," Rune said in a press conference at Wimbledon 2025.

Is it a new injury?

"I've had it before, but it's been a while since then, I don't know. I know what it is, and especially playing extremely low on the grass, that area can be bothersome. Obviously, I didn't expect him to come back, but that can happen. We'll see, I'll check with the doctor and physio now and make a decision. It's something I've experienced before, we need to verify it with the medical staff."

Jarry's level

"If I play normally, I beat him nine out of ten times, with all due respect to Nicolas Jarry. Obviously, today wasn't easy for me with my knee, but yes, it wasn't great."
