Holger Rune

CAREER

Titles, year by year.

Holger Rune turned professional in 2020 and won his first Futures titles in Klosters, Valldoreix and Antalya. In June 2021 he won his first Challenger in Biella, and later that year he came through qualifying at the US Open and took a set off Novak Djokovic in the first round on Arthur Ashe Stadium. His first ATP title came in Munich in April 2022, where he knocked out world No. 3 Alexander Zverev before Botic van de Zandschulp withdrew from the final. At Roland-Garros that year he beat Denis Shapovalov and, in the last 16, world No. 4 and previous year's finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas, before losing to Casper Ruud in the quarter-finals. In his first two months with Patrick Mouratoglou he won Stockholm, beating Tsitsipas in the final, reached the final in Basel and won the Rolex Paris Masters, beating Djokovic in the final, which made him a reserve at the ATP Finals. In 2023 he won Munich again, once more against Van de Zandschulp, reached the Masters 1000 finals in Monte Carlo and Rome, and climbed to world No. 4 in August. He has also lost finals in Sofia and Basel (2022), Monte Carlo and Rome (2023) and Brisbane (2024). On the UTS, “The Viking” became the youngest player in its history in 2020 in Nice, replacing Matteo Berrettini while ranked around 800th, and reached the final of the 2023 London Grand Final, lost to Jack Draper.
