Holger Rune shares his annual tradition of practicing with Novak Djokovic at the Monte Carlo Masters tournament. The tradition started with a conversation about Rune’s flexibility and resulted in a commemorative photo. Rune credits Djokovic for imparting valuable lessons on and off the court, including the importance of flexibility and mental toughness.

Their relationship has evolved as Rune has become a top rival, with Djokovic no longer offering advice during practices. Rune reflects on a loss to Djokovic in the 2023 Monte Carlo Masters final and shares how he learned to stay calm in high-pressure situations. Rune expresses his ambition to win the title at Monte Carlo this year. In a separate part of the video, Rune announces his withdrawal from the tournament due to a health concern, acknowledging the difficulty of the decision but intending to learn from the experience.
