His recent performance at the ATP Rotterdam 2025 tournament once again sparked rumors about the current tennis level of Holger Rune, who is leaving Europe behind to focus on the clay court tour taking place these weeks in South America. The Danish player spoke at the Media Day of the ATP Buenos Aires 2025 about his goals after some tough losses, as well as that rapid transition between surfaces.

"I have already trained once. I arrived this morning, so I am adapting to the conditions. The last time I was here was many years ago (three), so I am a completely different player on the circuit. Now I am more established. This time I come with more confidence. It is too early to think about it, but the next Grand Slam is on clay," Holger said at a press conference.

Transition from Europe to America

"I think it's a great opportunity to gain confidence on clay both now in Argentina and in Rio next week. It hasn't been easy. Two days ago, I was in Rotterdam, I got sick after my first match, so that made everything even more complicated. I stayed in my room there. I managed to recover, so I'm feeling good. That was my schedule this year; it's a tough transition, but I played the Davis Cup. I thought I could do better in Rotterdam, but I got sick there too."

About sharing the circuit with his family

"It's difficult for tennis players with all the traveling, so it's nice that we can have part of our families on the circuit with me. I am very happy to have the support of my family; they make traveling much easier. It feels more like home."
