Nick Kyrgios has spoken highly about Holger Rune admitting that he would love to play doubles with the rising star and it's not the first time the Australian praised younger players.

Kyrgios has been an avid supporter of Jannik Sinner calling him his favourite player numerous times. The Australian just loves some of these young players that play incredibly aggressive tennis, similar to what he likes to do. Another one is Holger Rune and Kyrgios has been hugely impressed by him calling his potential incredible:

"Holger's potential is incredible, and it is big enough to win several grand slams during his career. It could be big for the sport of tennis. Holger is so entertaining to watch play. He has an incredible work ethic because he just loves the game."

He further added:

"But sometimes he might need some fun in his game, I think. And I think I would be able to bring that. He already has it all in place in terms of how he's going to do things, but maybe I could come up with a few other things."

Kyrgios would like to play doubles with Rune and he'll be waiting for a call:

"Whenever Holger wants, I'm ready. Maybe even later this year in a smaller tournament. I'm sure we would love to play together. We could be a pretty cool doubles pair. So let's see. Maybe I'll ask him."
