On Wednesday in Paris, Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune played the most important match of his young career against Casper Ruud. However, things got pretty bad for him not only because he lost but also because he exhibited appalling behavior.
Unfortunately, Holger was struggling again with nerves and during his clash against Casper Ruud he started to shout to his mother to leave the box. The mother sadly left the player’s box and that was rather appalling.
Holger has great tennis and is most probably a very nice guy outside the tennis court, but this kind of behavior is very damaging to his image.
Holger’s mother is very supportive of his son and social media didn’t like his behavior at all. These are some comments.
@TennisChannel at the changeover Rune yelled “forlad” – translated LEAVE! I guess to his mother.. ?!🤔
