Holger Rune’s dream Parisian run this season
Hoger Rune’s meteoric rise reached new heights when the 19-years old made an impressive comeback to defeat none other than tennis champion Novak Djokovic in the finals of the 2022 Paris Masters. However, before his incredible Parisian run, the up-and-rising Danish player showcased a phenomenal form in other important tournaments.
He won the title in the Stockholm Open beating Greek World No.3 Stefanos Tsitsipas in straights. Then he reached the finals in the Basel Open before losing to Canadian World No.6 Felix Auger Aliassime. After that, he started the Paris Masters tournament ranked as World No.18.
The first-round victory over Stan Wawrinka was the tightest match he had to deal with, as he was merely one point away from losing in the first round of the tournament without winning a set. He had to save two match points trailing 15-40 4-5 in the second set. The second-round victory was against Polish World No.10 Hubert Hurkacz, then came Russian World No.9 Andrey Rublev in the third round.
His quarter-final victory was against the Spanish World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz, which again defied the odds. The semi-final victory against Canadian World No.8 Felix Auger Aliassime (6-4,6-2) is even more special since the latter was on a 16-match winning streak, including a victory over World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz.
In the finals, he out clutched the Serbian Great Novak Djokovic in one of the most thrilling matches of the season that ended in 3 sets after 2 hours and 34 minutes (3-6,6-3,7-5). The victory outlined the mental toughness of the Dane where he saved 10 out of the 12 break points against one of the best returners of the game.
Evident from the result and the consistent performance he has been showing throughout 2022, the Dane is all set for a brand new season. With that being said, it seems like new coach Patrick Mouratoglou is doing absolute wonders with the ‘wonder kid’.
