Holger Rune to Take on the Monte-Carlo Masters Challenge

Holger Rune’s European clay-court season will commence at the Monte-Carlo Masters.

The Danish player advanced to the final of the Masters 1000 tournament in the previous year. He began his journey by overcoming Dominic Thiem in the second round and Matteo Berrettini in the third round.

During the quarterfinals, Rune emerged victorious against Daniil Medvedev and then narrowly defeated Jannik Sinner 1-6, 7-5, 7-5 in the semifinals, securing his spot in the final. In the final, he managed to win the opening set, but ultimately, the Russian fought back and beat him 5-7, 6-2, 7-5. Prior to his successful run to the final, Rune had faced early defeats in Monte-Carlo in 2021 and 2022, being eliminated in the first and second rounds respectively.

As the 2024 edition of the Monte-Carlo Masters approaches, Rune was spotted practicing with current World No. 1 Novak Djokovic. The Dane also shared pictures from their previous practice sessions before the tournament.

“We keep the traditions. Opening practice at @rolexmontecarlomasters with @djokernole. Happy Easter. Who is the most flexible?” Rune captioned his post on Instagram.

The Dane will continue his strong momentum into this year’s clay-court swing, following his standout performances in 2023. He made it to the finals of two Masters 1000 events in Monte-Carlo and Rome, and successfully defended his title at the BMW Championships in Munich. Additionally, he achieved a second consecutive quarterfinal appearance at the French Open.
