Novak Djokovic vs Holger Rune: Preview

Novak Djokovic has been in quintessential form in 2021. Apart from his performance in Tokyo 2020, he has dominated every grand slam. He has already won three grand slams this year and hopes to accomplish a calendar slam. With 20 Grand Slam singles victories, the 34-year-old Serbian is tied with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer for the men’s all-time record heading into the US Open in 2021. Djokovic would commence his US Open campaign in 2021 as the favorite.

Holger Rune qualified for the 2021 US Open as the 24th seed. He won all three of his qualification matches to qualify for his first major slam, the US Open 2021. In the first round, he will face world number one Novak Djokovic. At the start of 2021, Rune reached three more ITF finals, but only one of them was won.
