Holger Rune won his first-round match in Munich setting up a round 2 clash against Alexander Zverev that will be a proper delight.
The Danish player is playing very good tennis lately and that's not a surprise. He is naturally orientated more towards clay than any other surface. He has a lot of talent and it was only a matter of time before he was going to start playing strong tennis. It came after a confidence-building challenger triumph before the Monte-Carlo Masters where he also played well.
In Belgrade, he ran into Taro Daniel and the Japanese player proved a bit better but overall it's been a positive run for RUne. He started well in Munich today as well beating Jiri Lehecka 7-6(4) 6-3. Lehecka has been in stellar form as well lately taking down a couple of great players and reaching the Belgrade Open quarterfinal.
It was a shaky start for Rune as the Czech player jumped out to an early 3-1 lead. Rune got the break back but Lehecka once again broke his opponent for a 5-2 lead. Lehecka lost his serve when he served for the set at 5-4 and actually, he fell behind 5-6 with Rune serving for the set. The Dane lost his serve as well and in the tiebreak, it was Rune who proved better 7-4.
After pulling out that set, he played much better in the 2nd set as Lehecka fell behind 0-3 early in the 2nd set. He barely hung on for the 1-3 score but it was evident that RUne was in complete control of the match. He went off the finish the job with 6-3.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
