"It will probably be another final between Alcaraz and Sinner," Rune concedes
Holger Rune has already been eliminated from the US Open. The Dane was knocked out in the second round by Jan-Lennard Struff in five sets.
In a press conference, he commented on the match: "My opponent's game was incredible, I tip my hat to him. He took huge risks, was better in the key moments, and I didn't have any luck."
He then vented his frustration by discussing the current state of tennis and the possibility of winning a Grand Slam: "It's very difficult to win a Grand Slam right now. There will probably be another final between Sinner and Alcaraz.
Apart from them, only Djokovic and Zverev can win this tournament," he stated, in remarks reported by the Danish media outlet Ekstrabladet.
