Due to his declining form, Holger Rune has received threats on social media, and his mother recently disclosed the steps taken to stop them. The 20-year-old had an incredible final lift in 2022, winning two indoor hard court titles, including his first Masters in Paris-Bercy, where he defeated 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic to win the desired ATP 1000.
Social media users are becoming more critical of his performances. In her brief remarks, Rune called the entire experience absurd, finding it hard to understand why someone would send death threats over a tennis match loss.
Aneke Rune says it’s always good to find out about his son’s performance analysis because it’s a way for fans to talk to the players. But she draws a boundary, detailing the flaws in social media and how some people have made fake profiles in order to spread hate.
She said this in a recent interview: “I read a lot of analysis about social media. We cannot get rid of it because it’s part of the interaction for young people, which is good. It’s a way for the fans to interact with their idols, which is super good. The bad thing about social media is that there are so many fake accounts that write sh*t.”
Despite threats he’s received on social media for his poor form, Holger Rune’s mother supports him by praising one of his lovely posts.
