I’ve only started following tennis in the last couple years so don’t know a lot about it but from what I’ve seen I was expecting him to be a clay court specialist so these last few weeks have really surprised me. He could be a real threat in 2023!

@@jaiswan2957 I thought so too, until this autumn! And I was concerned about his cramps.

ask Muratoglu what happened

When was he defensive lol

Yeah good pick up. This aggressive style will serve him well for the future as well because it takes less toll on the body. he was going toe to toe with Djokovic in the final and not moving off the baseline which is very encouraging to see.

he will have a good run in Australian Open or possibly win it!

Truly remarkable, this kid is solid.

Despite all his behavioral problems, I like to give Holger a chance at redemption. Yes he can be a brat and often would say hideous things, but at 19yrs he deserves a chance. Carlitos, Jannik, FAA, and now Holger are carving out their professional paths, and I feel that the men's game is entering into a new era of incredible players and champions.

@@yeseemazthiago4717 he is good and has great potential for the future. but always talking about a possible GS victory is completely exaggerated. after the initial euphoria, he will also have to deal with big disappointments.

@@Iyamcole he was 17 at the time mate, and wasn't shouting at the other player, was at himself

great comment 👏

yes

Yup...exiting times ahead...I might be getting too ahead but I can imagine Rune/alcaraz/Felix or any other youngsters beating djokovic in AO next year and taking the title... and only then we can say the nextgen is finally here and taken over...otherwise we're hoping the same for last 4-5 years..😄 And nothing against Nadal but it's better that he pulls out from ATP Finals (without playing any match, so that Rune can play all 3 matches..and infact Rune can definitely win the finals as well) for below reasons : 1. We're not sure weather he's 100% or not & he might have to pull out after playing 1-2 matches anyways...so it's better that he pull out now.. 2. Even if he plays, Chances of winning the Finals are almost none...

@@hirenpatel3699 I think it's possible. Especially if Novak gets 2 or 3 strong players in a row. He can still beat Medvedev, Rune, Felix, Alcaraz or Sinner in best of 5 sets when he's in good form. But I doubt he can go through more of such hurdles in one tournament. We will see at the ATP Finals, although that's best of 3 sets. I would be surprised if he won the title. The scenario of him having a tough draw at AO is likely to happen because his ranking is lower. I expect him to win Wimbledon again but I wouldn't bet on him anywhere else. I just hope they let him play in Melbourne, so that people can't use the argument, that the winner is not a real winner because Djokovic was not there. That's utter nonsense, he is not a guaranteed winner anywhere. As for Nadal and the ATP Finals, is he pulling out? I agree with your assessment of his chances, but I think he should still play there if he is not having some health issue again.

@@patrikmarflak6559 Yeah, I don't know why people even feel sorry for djokovic and infact supporting him as well...these are the real sick people.. He could have avoided all these drama, controversy and hate this year by just taking a vaccine...nobody would have stopped him from playing any tournament.. As simple is that... He had made his choice and there are consequences for it as well... I won't feel sorry for him at all if he stopped from playing AO and USO next year as well...but yeah as you said, I also don't won't some idiots to say that some other player won jus because djoker wasn't there...coz djokovic can blame himself only for that...nobody else's fault...

Alcaraz had a similar journey

Alcaraz has had the fastest rise in the history of the men’s game. He went from around #150 in the world to #1 in eighteen months. Rune’s not far behind, though. Amazing stuff!

Alcaraz

@@harshbhosale8720 in one year alcaraz went from around 32 to 1, but he's had an impressive rise in the last 18 months or so

Boris Becker has the record. He went from around top 100 to top 10 in seven months. Holger Rune is probably second fastest.

Second fastest. Boris Becker did the same but in 7 months.

Nobody's replacing the big 3 but the fear we had that men's tennis would drop off and turn into the WTA looks less and less likely with youngsters with the winning mentality of Alcaraz and Rune. They want to win and keep winning until their names are in the record books. Which is only good news for us fans.

Just 3 alcaraz rune sinner. Their are the next big 3.

@@imadariusmain7311 I agree with your picks but there are others like Ruud, Auger-Aliassime, Tsitsipas, Medvedev, Zverev and Kyrgios. They all have potential to be a big 3. I'm probably missing others.

@@mr.frightscare356 No they dont none of them is an all rounder, none of them has the defense or novak and rafa none of them has the attack of federer, none of them have the resiliance. They all have 1 style of play which they have perfected and which helps them win vs lower rank guys. Ruud is a pure clay courter with no real weapons faa is a serve bot with a good forehand, tsitsipas has a small potential but he has to improve so many things, medvedev is only good on 1 surface, zverev showed some first signs of improvement in the french open so we will see about him, and kyrgios doesnt have the commitmment or the consistency.

@@mr.frightscare356 U have to understand that in order for someone to replace the big 3, they have to be perfect in defense or perfect in attack, they have to be all rounders, each one of the big 3 is an all rounder federer could always take a set against rafa in rg and make the match close, while medvedev wouldnt get more than 3 games in a set vs him. You gotta have no real weaknesses just some weak points and the only people who have that are alcaraz rune and sinner

Wow you think really its easy to win Grand Slam🤡🤨🤡

Why would you think that rune would last for 20 more years

Jones: He certainly has the ability to spot unusual talent, or cash flow potential, or something like that.

same question here!

His attitude isn’t as a bad as others. He’s still a teenager. Give him a break.

@@JudahIsrael yes but he is the subject of the video so attitude of others is somewhat irrelevant? Also I said hope it improves as he grows older and matures, so also clearly acknowledged the fact he is only a teenager. I don't really understand your comment...

It's seems to be sorted already. Wawrinka was commenting the old news.

@@euanforsyth8445 I don’t understand your comment. Your negativity wasn’t necessary.

@@JudahIsrael You're reading incorrectly into the remark. All he said was that hopefully Rune sorts his attitude out. Zero negativity in pointing out reality.

Hard to say. Very even. But Alcaraz has been good longer, so let's see if Rune's body can handle it over time

And Tsitsipas.

@@taon2004 he has the game. Seems mentally weak to me. look how badly he unraveled in Wimbledon against Kyrgios

Should be an interesting 2023 for GSs. There are so many potential players who can win at that level.

Just a matter of time. Future nr 1 rank.

Noah: Djokovic's net game is just fine. Rune just outplayed him in those situations.

A lot of people seem to think that Runes mentality is and has been his weakness, but it really has always been his biggest strength. Being so overly ambitious as Rune is, he doesn't accept anything less than perfection and greatness. His anger and frustration in bad periods is what pushes him to get better, because he hates losing. If you have ambitions of becoming the number 1 tennis player in the world and beating the likes of Djokovic, Alcaraz and Aliassime demands that you play near perfect Tennis. His mentality and perfectionism is exactly why he has been able to rise so quickly. He doesn't care or acknowledge the fact that he is an underdog in most matches, because he already views himself as someone who doesn't make mistakes and shouldn't lose. If you don't have the passion to scream or agonize over your losses, do you actually care enough to do something about it? Why do you think it is, that right after the struggle during the summer after Casper Ruud loss, Rune was able to heighten his level to perhaps top 5 or top 3 in the world? It's cause of his mentality. He doesn't lose. He doesn't accept anything else than being the greatest. When he lost, he had to make damn sure that never happened again, cause it was the worst feeling in the world.

@@DLundgren22: Be sure to cast the first stone.

@@DLundgren22 I won't be rooting for him on the court, that's for sure.

@@islandsfuldkorn I'm talking about acting like a total baby on court, and more importantly, THIS: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8hii9F0mauXf2g.html

@@simianmoonstudios that wasnt homophobic. I understand Danish so I can assure you nothing he said was homophobic. More so it is just laughable.

I'm sure you were the personification of a mature model citizen when you were 19...and living in the pro ATP pressure cooker. Not an excuse but not exactly a shocker that a 19-year-old is a bit immature.

@@Badabinger my thoughts exactly

What childish behaviour? Seems fairly normal. He has his own temperament, and has every right to it

@@riazhassan6570 he insulted his own mother during RG quarter finals lol. Seems quite normal huh

@@TheOddSnake Really? I must have missed that one. Insulting one’s mother is a no-no, certainly.
