Holger Rune defeated Lorenzo Musetti in a highly spectacular match in London at the prestigious Queen’s Club. During the encounter, Lorenzo hit Holger, blasting a smash at the Danish player, who was particularly not impressed.
During the press conference that followed the match, Rune commented, “Of course he can do what he wants. I mean, it’s not the best thing to do, for sure. But again, it is legal. He can do what he wants. He can hit the ball where he wants to.
Yeah, for sure, this just gave me fire in the belly to beat him even more. I’m super happy to manage to beat him in two sets. It feels good. I’m in the semifinal; he’s not. So I’m happy.”
