The Danish executed an incredible great Willy

March 12, 2025

This Tuesday at the BNP Paribas Open, Holger Rune left the track believing Roger Federer. And all because his triumph in eighth against the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-4 had included the shooting of the tournament, a genius that the Swiss often made. For example, in the semifinals of the US Open of 2009 against Novak Djokovic.

“The great Willy is the first thing I’m going to check when I checked my phone,” he said in his track interview about the shot that arrived in the second set when Break Point faced. However, it soon disappointed.

HE. SHOT. OF THE. TOURNAMENT. 🤯

“I think the feeling was better on the track, the truth,” he said later at a press conference. “Although he looked good on the phone, I expected Roger Federer when he hit, and I didn’t succeed. So it was disappointing, you know?

With everything and that, the ex No. 4 of the PIF ATP Rankings was satisfied with the point that helped him beat a tsitsipas in broad form and who came from winning the title in the ATP 500 of Dubai.

“I think I have had many good things today,” said Rune, the next rival of the Dutch Tallon Griekspoor. “I think my great Willy was not wrong.”
