Holger Rune identifies Jannik Sinner’s strength.

Holger Rune is already looking ahead to the match against Jannik Sinner

Although it is difficult to call Friday’s result a real surprise (on the other hand, we are talking about the world number 9 defeating the number 5, Daniil Medvedev), the feeling of the overturned prediction still remains, an aspect that loads Holger Rune in no small way ahead of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 semifinal against Jannik Sinner, scheduled for Saturday.

At his press conference, the Dane confirmed that he is already focused on his next opponent: “I think tomorrow it will be important to position yourself well on the court. Whoever can play better from the baseline will probably have the best chance of success. I consider Sinner a powerful player, if you give him a lot of time to hit the ball he becomes very dangerous.”

“So I will try to make sure that this doesn’t happen,” Rune added: “If I get the chance, I will try to take control from the start. I still think it will be an exciting match, it’s nice that we young people can make it to the end of tournaments of this caliber. It will be exciting.”
