I'm happy not to be the only big player to have lost to Vacherot," Rune rejoices
Holger Rune is among the many victims of Valentin Vacherot at the Shanghai Masters 1000. Beaten in the quarterfinals by the Monegasque, the Dane reflected on this episode during the Stockholm tournament, where he is currently present.
He states: "What we saw there speaks volumes about the depth of the tour and the closeness of opponents. Facing someone who isn't in the Top 100 can be difficult because you don't know their game and it takes time to adapt.
Regardless, I'm happy not to be the only big tennis player to have lost to Vacherot.
