Rune in Buenos Aires: "The courts are not good at all".
Holger Rune lost his first match in Buenos Aires to Mariano Navone.
The Dane was also quick off the mark at his press conference, which, according to one person on hand, lasted 87 seconds.
That was enough time for him to criticize the courts: "It wasn't a good match, I made too many mistakes.
My aim here was to play good tennis and I just couldn't do it.
This has nothing to do with the competition in Rotterdam a few weeks ago, where I fell ill, but that's how it goes.
The event is well organized, but the courts aren't good at all. Apart from that, everything's going well. Great atmosphere, fantastic weather.
I don't know if I'll be back, I haven't thought about my calendar for the next few years."
