ZipRecruiter Player Resume: Holger Rune
Holger Rune is a champion in the making. His high-octane game is competitive with the top on tour and his attitude says, “I dare you to take me out.” It helps that his self-confidence is through the roof because at just 20 years old, you’re still proving you belong in the Grand Slam conversation.
Since tasting the sweet success of being Junior World No. 1, Rune is hungry to make his mark on the pro tour. Also as a junior, he was the 2019 Roland Garros champion, which can often be a first step towards greatness—joining the ranks of other junior Slam champs like Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Stan Wawrinka.
Seamlessly transitioning onto the ATP tour, he has already won four ATP singles titles, including his big-league breakthrough at the 2022 Rolex Paris Masters where he had five Top 10 wins and shocked Novak Djokovic in the final.
His 2022 season was also notable for his quarterfinal appearance at Roland Garros, a feat he repeated again last month on the terre battue.
Long story short, there’s a reason Holger Rune is the highest ranked Danish player in ATP history. His career high ranking of world No. 6 is just the tip of the iceberg of what he plans to do in his career.
