Holger Rune has been one of those names this season that has stood out in the realm of disappointments. After a couple of years on the circuit where he has achieved significant victories and reached far in important tournaments, this 2024 has been different for the Dane. The world number 13 continues to seek the improvements he needs to be at the top alongside his rivals like Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz.

Rune wants to give 100%

"I have been working a lot on my position on the court, and that is what I will continue working on because I have become a more dangerous player that way, staying there and playing the point," explained Holger in an interview with Eurosport without hesitation to reveal his work plan for this preseason, already looking ahead to the next year 2025.

"It is very important to keep improving every day, pushing the limits. At the end of the season, I was very happy to have played two semifinals in Basel and Paris, so you feel very motivated at the end of the year. I had a good break with some nice vacations and good training so far. I am excited about what is coming. I cannot control how well or poorly I play, but I can control my effort, and I will try to give it my all every day."

Regarding his coaching changes

After multiple back and forth with Patrick Mouratoglou, a brief addition of Boris Becker, and many other attempts, the Danish player is back working with Lars Christensen, news they communicated last October: "It's great, we have good communication both on and off the court. We know each other very well, so I am super happy. I have great people around me, and I trust them a lot."
