"When tennis is played like this, there is no better sport," Rune reflects on the Roland-Garros final between Alcaraz and Sinner
On June 8th, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner delivered an exceptional show during the Roland-Garros final. Neck and neck until the very last point, the two best players in the world confirmed that they are playing at a stratospheric level in the biggest tournaments on the planet.
In a final full of twists and turns, it was ultimately the Spaniard, who saved three match points in the fourth set, who triumphed after 5 hours and 29 minutes of play (4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6).
As the grass season has now started, ATP circuit stars were interviewed by Tennis TV about this final. For Holger Rune, the world No. 9 player, this match is excellent publicity for tennis as a whole.
"The main thing I thought about while watching this final is that when tennis is played like this, with such a high physical dimension, there is no better sport. I'm just going to say that.
People can say what they want, but in situations like this, there is no better sport, and no sport as difficult. It shows how much tennis has evolved. The very high level is just incredible. Honestly, it gives me a lot of motivation," said the Dane.
