"Finally found someone as obsessed with sleep as I am": Bouchard jokes after Rune remark about sleeping

Eugene Bouchard identified with Holger Rune's love for sleeping, which he confessed in a press conference at the French Open.

The young Danish player had a smooth journey at Roland Garros. He successfully passed the first round of the tournament with a victory over world No. 74 Cristopher Eubanks. He then advanced due to the withdrawal of Gaël Monfils and in the third round defeated the Argentine qualifier and world No. 231 Genaro Olivieri.

Holger Rune spoke in a press conference after his victory over Olivieri and talked about his love for sleeping:

"I sleep a lot. I love to sleep. I probably sleep around 9 to 13 hours if I can. It's a lot. I really like it. I think it's the best recovery that you can have. I actually think the muscles relax. Everything relaxes when you sleep," he said.

Canadian Eugene Bouchard joked about the comments of the world No. 6 regarding sleeping:

"Finally found someone as obsessed with sleep as I am!" Bouchard wrote on Instagram.

Bouchard is currently ranked 226th in the WTA rankings, and her last tournament match was in the Florence Challenger on clay. Although she won her first two matches, she had to withdraw in the quarterfinals while trailing 6-3, 1-0 against Italian Sara Errani.
