Nick Kyrgios believes Holger Rune has potential to win multiple Grand Slams and also revealed that he would likes to team up with the Dane for a doubles event. At the age of 19, Rune is already a Masters Champion and currently enjoys a career-high ranking of No. 9 in the world.
Rune is someone who seems brave on the pitch and Kyrgios believes the Dane could do big things in the future. «Holger’s potential is incredible and he is big enough to win several Grand Slams during his career. He could be great for the sport of tennis.» Kyrgios said BT.
Kyrgios focuses on singles, but occasionally plays doubles. Now, Kyrgios reveals that he would definitely be willing to share the same side of the court with Rune one day. «Whenever Holger wants, I’m ready. Maybe even later this year in a smaller tournament.
I’m sure we would love to play together. We could be a great doubles pair. So let’s see. Maybe I’ll ask him,» Kyrgios said.
