Holger Rune has slammed US Open organizers, claiming they haven't answered his questions about his court allocation.
World No. 4 Rune crashed out of the last Grand Slam of the year in New York after he lost to Roberto Carballes Baena in the opening round yesterday, Monday, August 28.
However, before his shocking defeat, the 20-year-old was raising questions about his court allocation, as he was placed on Court 5, the 5th most important court, despite being the fourth seed.

Rune sought explanation for court controversy
During his post-match press conference, Rune was asked if he asked about why he was on Court 5, to which he responded by confirming that he had sought an explanation.
"Of course I tried to get an explanation. They said what we all know, that they put Americans on the big court. Which is totally fine. I’m used to playing in France where they do that. So I respect that 100%."
However, Rune went on to say that he didn't believe this reason, as while many American players including Coco Gauff, Frances Tiafoe, and Venus Williams have played or are scheduled to play on the main courts, several matches without any American players were also taking place on them.

"But that’s not only the case here that it’s only Americans playing on the big court. That card didn’t really work," he continued.
Finally, the Dane expressed his frustration at not getting answers.
"You try to ask them a question and then they don’t answer you. It’s a bit tough," he said.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
