The overall perception of Holger Rune is not the best, having been involved in several controversies where his personal image was somewhat tarnished. However, at just 21 years old, he continues to take steps toward maturity and has had various life experiences that make him one of the most supportive players on the circuit.
Tennis is much more than a sport, becoming a social asset that can inspire and move people worldwide, promoting their integration and giving young people in difficult situations a reason for hope. This is something that Holger Rune has been able to realize, a young man who does not enjoy the best perception among most fans, but details of his great solidarity have emerged following an article on atptour.com that talks about his involvement in social causes.
"I feel very privileged to dedicate myself to what has always been my passion, so I believe I can create a good platform to inspire many people. I had wonderful parents who helped me achieve my dreams, and I believe all children should have the opportunity to fight for what excites them," commented the Danish player as an introduction to reveal his collaboration with an NGO that distributes sports equipment in villages in Africa, such as rackets, balls, and tennis clothing.

There are numerous images of excitement and joy in young Africans playing tennis thanks to the work of some of these organizations, with some tennis players collaborating with them. Until now, Rune's involvement was unknown. "Some time ago, I realized I had many rackets at home and also tennis clothes that no longer fit me. I contacted a guy who lived in Barcelona and could send things to Benin. I will never forget the video call we had months later, where I saw children playing with my rackets, wearing my clothes, and with posters of me in the background. Seeing their smiles was beautiful," he stated.
Holger Rune's involvement goes further, acknowledging that this is a project that excites him greatly. "I don't want to limit myself to sending materials or contributing money, but I would like to chat with them, share my experiences, and spend time playing with them. It means a lot to connect with children facing difficulties. I am a tennis player because it is my passion, but also because of the ability to inspire others with my example. If you have a dream, you must pursue it, no matter the cost," admitted the Danish player.
