Holger Rune is preparing for Washington Open, but the goals he has imposed are not in the short term, but with a long beating.
“I am ranked 8th in the world and I want to do everything possible to continue to climb the standings. There are players who can reach the top 20 or even in the top 10 without too much effort and are satisfied with it. But my goal has always been to become a world leader and I think I can achieve that. To do this, I need to do things differently than I did and that's why Agassi can help me”, The champion from Barcelona revealed.
Rune is not afraid to compare with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, players who dominate tennis at the moment.
“The distance between them and some players is very big, but compared to others it is not so big. I think they are not so far; my tennis level is high and I just have to correct some things and be more constant,” explained the Danish.
“I have already shown that I can beat the best and that gives me confidence that I can do it again. There is a difference between you beat you from time to time and being in the ends of major tournaments every week. This is my goal now, ”was Rune's conclusion.
