Alma Rune, the 20-year-old athlete’s sister, drew media attention during Rune’s fourth-round triumph over fourth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas. Cameras panned to scoop Alma’s stunning appearance at Stade Roland Garros.

While she now aims to be a model, Alma used to play tennis when she was a child. In fact, Holger was motivated to join the sport when he saw his sister playing it when she was 6. As per their mother, Holger used to go to the training grounds of his sister and watched practice matches from beginning to end.
