"For many, the Laver Cup is their favorite event, even more so than the Grand Slams," Rune's unprecedented statement
As the tension remains high after his controversial gesture towards the chair umpire in the Davis Cup, Holger Rune returns to the spotlight with a shocking statement: "For many, the Laver Cup is their favorite event, even more so than the Grand Slams."
These remarks, made in an official interview with the tournament's organization, are likely to cause quite a stir.
Currently ranked No. 11 in the world, Holger Rune is heading to San Francisco where he will represent the European team in the Laver Cup. A format that, according to him, suits him perfectly:
"It's not often that we play as a team, so it's great. I really think I will shine in this environment. Every player has their own way of seeing tennis. All can give excellent advice. Casper is a great player; having him on the team is incredible."
As a reminder, the Laver Cup, a competition created by Roger Federer in 2017, will take place from September 19 to 21 at the Chase Center in San Francisco (United States).
