Victories and losses are a part of a tennis player’s life! Their career consists of both parts, but sometimes, facing continuous losses can become a problem on and off the tennis court. The Danish tennis sensation, Holger Rune, has been going through a similar rough patch. Although players getting criticized and, on rare occasions, threats from angry fans are a common occurrence, Rune has had to deal with a peculiar situation. His family has become a target of malicious accounts in the tennis world.

Although the 20-year-old is giving his best, he and his family are facing a lot of flak because of his recent performances. Now his sister has found a clear way to deal with all the negative messages she has been receiving from fans.

Holger Rune’s sister dishes out a stern warning for their haters

The Danish tennis player’s sister, Alma, was subjected to social media abuse following her brother’s recent loss at the 2023 Shanghai Masters. The fifth-seeded tennis player faced a shocking upset in the first round of the tournament. This is his sixth defeat since reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinal and facing a defeat from Carlos Alcaraz.

Following his dismissal, Alma was on the receiving end of continuous abuse on social media. Recently, she issued a public statement condemning the act. In addition, she also made a huge revelation regarding how she and her family were receiving threats on social media. Along with that, she also gave a warning that she would be taking the matter to the police if the abusive messages didn’t stop.
