The first real sensation of this US Open.
Despite a tournament in Cincinnati where he seemed to have rediscovered his tennis skills, Holger Rune fell back into his old ways, being soundly beaten by Nakashima in the first round of the US Open (6-2, 6-1, 6-4).
Faced with a confident American, buoyed by an enthusiastic crowd, Rune was anything but brilliant, making far too many errors (31) and proving very shaky on serve (6 breaks conceded).
More disappointing than ever, the Dane is once again in crisis, just when we thought he was on the road to recovery.
