It had been a long time since Holger Rune had competed so well on clay, a surface where he should be a title contender in all the major tournaments. The Dane seems to have rediscovered his best form at the ATP 500 Conde de Godó 2025 and is already in the final after defeating the Russian Karen Khachanov with a score of 6-3 6-2.

There has long been a sense of unease, even urgency, surrounding the figure of Holger Rune. Those thoughts should dissipate upon realizing that the Danish player is only 21 years old and is poised to make a mark once he finds the mental calmness for all the pieces of his brilliant tennis to fit together perfectly. This is what he is achieving at the ATP 500 Conde de Godó 2025, where he secured his spot in the final by ruthlessly defeating Karen Khachanov.

Abundant talent, competitive character, and unlimited technical and tactical skills. That is what Rune is displaying in each match played in Barcelona this week, overwhelming the Russian opponent already in the first set. After a few games as a warm-up, the Dane shifted gears when needed, exuding the powerful feeling of winning how and when he wanted. He strung together several consecutive games and, above all, dealt a tremendous blow to a Khachanov who felt inferior.

With a perfect blend of aggression and consistency, Rune established an advantage at the start of the second set, capitalizing on the fact that the Russian could not find his rhythm on serve and struggled to find openings when being aggressive and dictating play from the baseline. Dominant with his forehand, displaying frenetic footwork, and astute in his changes of pace and height with the backhand, the Dane repeatedly punished the confidence of Karen Khachanov, who exits Barcelona without being able to showcase the level that led him to the semifinals the rest of the week. Holger Rune is a man with a clear mission and he may achieve it at this ATP 500 Conde de Godó 2025.
