Command Analysis

Rune had a good showing at the Cincinnati Masters ahead of the US Open. Holger reached the semi-finals of that tournament, where he lost to Francis Tiafoe. The Dane has 17 wins and seven losses on open hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Rune is a great tennis player with excellent playing characteristics. He knows how to move around the court well, has a powerful serve and an excellent forehand in his arsenal. The main problem in the Dane's game is psychology. Under pressure from stronger opponents, Holger often loses the rhythm of the game and loses.
