Holger Rune has won the 2024 Nordic Battle after beating Casper Ruud not once but twice in their match in Copenhagen, Denmark. The two stars met in the second leg of their 2024 Nordic Battle and this time it moved from Norway to Denmark.
The first match last week was won by Ruud who saw off his rival at the Varner Arena in Asker, Norway. He fed off the home crowd as the most successful player to come out of the country. But Denmark drew a bigger crowd.
The rules saw Rune needing to win the match to send it to a super tie-break. It would decide the winner of the 2024 Nordic Battle since Ruud won the first match.
Rune broke for 2-0 and both held their serve from there allowing the former to win the first set 6-4. Ruud tried searching for an answer in the second set but fell behind 1-3 after another break from his opponent.
The Dane broke Ruud again to lead 5-2 and held his serve once more to lead 6-4, 6-2. It meant a super tie-break would decide it and Ruud led 3-2. But Rune overturned the deficit to lead 5-4. He increased his lead to 8-5 and despite double faulting, he saw it out 10-6 to win the tie.
Both now head into the relatively short off season with the action resuming in only a few weeks time having delighted both fans in both countries with wins.
