It is an explosive duel that awaits us on Wednesday, May 24 next year. This Friday, on his networks, Holger Rune announced an exhibition with Nick Kyrgios in Denmark, at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, the week before Roland Garros. Climbed to the 10th place in the world, the Dane exploded in 2022 with three titles, including the Rolex Paris Masters in late October. For his part, the Australian is also coming off his best season ever with a first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon, in addition to his ATP 500 in Washington. To date, the two players have never met.
“I’m thrilled to be playing Kyrgios at home. It doesn’t get much better than this. I can’t wait to thank all the Danish tennis fans who have been cheering for me all year. They have shown tremendous support and that really means a lot to me. I guarantee that I will do everything to deliver a win,” Rune explained in the release. But Kyrgios isn’t planning on letting that happen. “Naturally, I’ve heard a lot about Rune, he’s had a fantastic 2022 season. Therefore, it will also be exciting to have to play against him in Denmark for the first time. I beat all three legends (Nadal, Federer and Djokovic) the first time I met them, so let’s see how it goes when I have to meet Holger.”
