Holger Rune’s mother Aneke recently shared that the Dane receives messages from thousands of girls and boys on social media due to his popularity.
Rune picked up a racket at the age of six. He turned professional as a 16-year-old in 2020. The Dane truly announced his arrival to the tennis world two years later at the Paris Masters.
He entered the ATP 1000 event as an unseeded contender but ended up as the champion. Rune defeated five Top 10 players, including Novak Djokovic in the final, on the way to laying hands on his first Masters trophy.
Holger Rune’s popularity has grown manifold since then. His mother Aneke provided testimony of the same in a recent episode of The Craig Shapiro Tennis Podcast saying (at 36:22):
“You won’t believe, there’s like 10,000 messages from girls and boys and everybody, you know, he’s good-looking. He’s a good-looking guy.”
Host Craig Shapiro further strived to know about Holger Rune’s relationship status from Aneke herself but failed as the latter refused to disclose any details.
“No, I can’t tell you about this. This is Holger’s private life. I can’t tell you about this. The world is also good for him at that area,” she said. (36:43)
