HolgerRune
Holger Rune's two-handed backhand and aggressive return position define a game that once carried him to No. 4; he now sits at No. 133 in the ATP ranking.
Overview
Holger Rune builds points from a two-handed backhand that absorbs pace early and redirects it cross-court, paired with a first serve he uses to shorten rallies and an aggressive return position that pulls him inside the baseline. On slower courts he steps in to take the ball early, looking for the short ball to attack rather than grinding from deep, while his movement around the forehand corner lets him recover into neutral rallies quickly. That blend of early strike and athletic recovery shapes his results.
The Dane sits at No. 133 in the ATP singles ranking as of 31 August 2026, a position well below the No. 4 career-high mark he reached earlier in his career. His five tour-level singles titles came across the ATP circuit, and he has turned professional in 2020. Denmark's leading player remains outside the Grand Slam singles winners' list.
