Despite regaining certain sensations in his tennis, the ups and downs have not left Holger Rune, who has a very good final in Indian Wells followed by two disappointing losses against opponents he should easily beat. The constant changes in his team, especially with his coach, and the back pains have been a constant in the Dane's life in recent months. Holger will try to revive himself in the clay court tour, with a new opportunity at the Conde de Godó 2025.

How is he arriving at the ATP Barcelona?

"I suffered from food poisoning in Monte Carlo. I love the tournament, it was very bad luck. It was super tough for me, as were the following days. I returned to training a couple of days ago, and it wasn't easy, but I am happy to be back on the courts, feeling good about my body. That's a good sign," said the Dane to the tournament.

From one problem to another

"It's quite annoying, but I think you can learn from those situations. I did some tests afterward to see what food I should eat and which one to avoid. It might just be bad luck, but it's very frustrating, especially in a tournament like Monaco, where I've done well and enjoy playing. I try to focus on the next goal, on playing in Barcelona."

Confident in himself

"I'm still playing good tennis. My preparation before the Monte Carlo tournament, before I got sick, was quite good. I was playing well, I don't think too much about my level, I just focus on working day by day. I trust myself, if I'm fresh, I can return to my best level."

What do you like most about clay courts?

"My favorite part of clay courts is that there are many more dimensions to the game, it's not just about going for a big shot. You see the players' tennis. The clay shows who the better player really is. You can drop shot, slice the shots, with more spin... That's what I love."
