"It is two supervisors who give me the worst courts": Rune brands scheduling as disrespectful as US Open court placing confirmed
ATPMonday, 28 August 2023 at 02:30
Holger Rune accused the ATP of often being disadvantaged on the courts where he plays, following the release of the US Open schedule.
The Danish player is the 4th seed at Flushing Meadows, marking the first time he has held such a high seeding position. This ranking allows him to avoid facing the top three seeds, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Daniil Medvedev, until the semifinals if the favorites progress.
Despite his favorable seeding, Rune's first match will be played on Court 5. On the same day, the three main courts will host a total of six men's matches, and five of these matches involve players with lower rankings than Rune.
Casper Ruud, who holds the 5th seed, is in a similar situation and will play on Court 17, which is the fourth largest court in terms of capacity. Rune humorously commented on the organization's decision via Twitter:
“Usopen site map. In case you can find court 5, this is where I play my first match Monday followed by 11:00,” Rune wrote.
The 20-year-old tennis player responded to an interview with TV2 Denmark, where one of the tennis analysts described the scheduling as "disrespectful."
“I completely agree. It is two ATP managers/supervisors who always give me the worst courts. So that’s how it is.” World No. 4 said in response.
“100 percent (there is something in it). But I don’t mind complaining about it. I have a tournament to win and I have to be focused. I have to do my best, no matter what court I’m on,” Rune added.
The Danish tennis player will make his debut in the first round on Monday against the Spanish player Roberto Carballes Baena. Their head-to-head record stands at 1-1, and they last faced each other in the second round of this year's Wimbledon, with Rune securing a victory with a score of 6-3, 7-6(3), 6-4.
