Rune: "I've brought more Danes to take an interest in tennis. It's an extraordinary feeling."
Holger Rune defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas at Indian Wells and advanced to the quarterfinals.
During the press conference, he was asked about the presence of Danish fans in the crowd. Rune replied: "It's great.
I think I've received a lot of love and support in this tournament. Even when I played Fritz last year, the atmosphere was fantastic.
I think the crowd is very respectful. They are here for tennis and good matches.
Seeing Danish flags and people coming from Denmark to watch me play is truly incredible.
Especially after that Davis Cup match against Serbia, which we managed to win 3-2. I've brought more Danes to take an interest in tennis.
It's an extraordinary feeling."
Rune will face Tallon Griekspoor for a spot in the semifinals of the Indian Wells Masters 1000.
