"I know what I want and I know what I am capable of": Holger Rune aims to 'go 100% for the next level' in 2024 message
ATP
Denmark’s tennis star Holger Rune has stated optimism ahead
of the 2024 season. The 20-year-old was regarded as one of the most
highly-rated players in the circuit alongside Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Italy’s
Jannik Sinner
However, things did not go well for Rune in the early phase
of 2023 which changed some people’s perception about his potential. However,
he managed to make some sort of a comeback in the later stages of the season,
especially after including the former world number one Germany’s Boris Becker
in his coaching staff.
The current world number eight wrote a long post ahead of
the new season where he expressed optimism about going one step further next
season.
"I feel 2024 will be the year where I fully trust my
skills, feel the freedom again and go 100 percent for the next level,” he
wrote. “I know what I want and I know what I am capable of when I want
something bad enough. This year I reached a career high on rank 4 in the world.
Let’s push the limits even further now. Happy New Year everyone!
"This end year post is dedicated to my amazing
supporters all over the world and to passion. I love to feel the mutual energy
when I step on court and to share my passion with you. Passion is pure, it’s
colourful and lively and it’s an expression without filter. Let’s always keep
this fire alive.
"Leaving 2023 I want to thank everyone helping me this
year. Above all my family, my coaches, trainers, physical, physio, analyst, and
sponsors. Everyone putting in the love and energy to help me achieving my
dreams. Thank you, we are getting closer every year. “
Rune’s only ATP title in 2023 was the BMW Open By American
Express in April where he defeated Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands
with a score of 6-4, 1-6, 7-6.

Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
