2 hours great practice 🚀 with @RafaelNadal 🙏🏽 @CincyTennis #Cincinnati #atp1000
Rafael Nadal is in Cincinnati practicicing hard ahead of his return and he did it with up and coming player Holger Rune.
Rune has had an interesting career so far with a mix of superb play and plenty of controversies. The Dane had his best run this year at Roland Garros reaching the 2nd week and losing to Casper Ruud. That matchup was filled with controversy due to his behaviour which has been questionable at times. Only last year he was caught yelling a homophobic slur towards his opponent during a challenger match.
When it comes to tennis though, Rune is a big talent and one that will be part of the Tour for many years. To elevate his game even further he teamed up with Rafael Nadal for what the youngster described as a 2-hour long practice session.
