Rune on his participation at UTS London: "It's a perfect tournament to prepare for the coming season".
Holger Rune didn't let his chance pass him by in London. In a final for second place against Jan-Lennard Struff, the Dane produced a solid performance to win 15-10, 15-12, 16-11 in Group B.
A few minutes after his success, which takes him into the semi-finals of the UTS London, the 13th player in the world gave his impressions on the court.
"It was a great match from start to finish. I was very excited to play this match. I needed to get even with him compared to April (Struff beat Rune 6-2, 6-0 in the Munich semi-finals).
That gave me a lot of motivation. It was also an important match. As you reminded me at the end of the first quarter, the winner of this match was through to the semi-finals.
The state of mind was the same as always. In my first match against De Minaur, I played well at the start, but I couldn't maintain my rhythm and my level, even though he played well.
I wanted to show something different and that's what I managed to do. It's a perfect tournament to prepare for the coming season, it's very intense.
I can't wait for tomorrow (Sunday). Now it's time to rest up and get ready for the rest of the season", he explained, before facing Ugo Humbert for a place in the final.
