Holger Rune keeps on rising in the ATP rankings, and he is about to face Carlos Alcaraz in what will be a rather thrilling quarterfinal at Wimbledon. The Danish player has the constant presence of his mother Aneke in his box wherever he plays. During a recent interview, he said that he really wants his mother to be present at every tournament that he is in.
Holger commented: “She’s a huge influence. She really helps to kind of keep me in the perfect state of mind. Obviously, she knows me better than anybody. That’s also why she’s traveling with me for every tournament. I want her for every tournament. I want her there because I really feel the support. Also, if I feel like I have something that I want to get off my heart or something, I can always come to her and talk. We have this very unique relationship.”
