(VIDEO) "Damn why've they still got him on the child harness": Rune simulating on-court movements training indoors has tennis fans in stitches
ATP
Holger Rune
shared a video of his indoor training session at Cincinnati Open, sparking
reactions from fans.
The Danish
tennis player is gearing up for his debut in the main draw of the Canadian
Open. As the sixth seed, he directly entered the second round, where he will
face the winner of the match between wild card entrant Mackenzie McDonald and
German player Yannick Hanfmann.
As he
prepares for his debut, Rune shared a video on social media showcasing his
indoor training session. The video was also retweeted by Tennis Channel.
“Furniture
is out, forehands are in,” wrote Tennis Channel official account on Twitter.
Fan
reactions were quick to follow, with some playfully joking about Rune's video,
where he replicated court movements within the confines of a limited indoor
space.
“Your
unemployed friend at 1pm on a Monday:,”
“Damn
why’ve they still got him on the child harness,”
“This is
just every tennis fan watching tennis at home acting like they could have made
the shot the player on tv missed lol,”
Holger Rune
is currently at the highest ranking of his career as world No. 5, and with a
strong performance in Cincinnati, he could potentially climb to the fourth
position, as he's ranked fourth in the live rankings.
The Danish
player has a favorable position to enter the US Open as the 4th seed, a
scenario that will be determined once Cincinnati concludes. Achieving this rank
would allow him to avoid facing Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Daniil
Medvedev until the semifinals.
However,
the competition is tough, as four other players are also in contention for the
fourth ranking position this week, with only a few points separating them.
Ruud, Sinner, Rublev, and Tsitsipas are all vying for this opportunity, each
with a difference of less than 300 points.
