Holger Rune shared a rather interesting video on his Twitter account. The 19-year-old shared a video of himself practicing volley. If we examine, there’s a picture of legendary Swiss tennis star Roger Federer in the background. Talking about the same Rune wrote, “Better keep the volleys sharp when @rogerfedereris hanging just above you.”
It was a lovely tribute to one of the greatest tennis players of the modern era. Federer played his last tennis match at the Laver Cup 2022. He coupled up with Rafael Nadal to play a doubles match. Rune, being only 19 years old, surely grew up watching the Swiss maestro break and create numerous records. This was one of his unique ways to pay tribute to the legend. There were a few interesting reactions to Rune’s tweet. Here’s what they said.

Over the past two decades, the take has always been about the GOAT among Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. While there are a few who also add Serena Williams to the list, as she has the most number of Grand Slam titles in the Open era.
Everybody has a different perspective and gives their logic for selecting any one of them as the GOAT. However, 19-year-old Holger Rune hates this debate. The Dane believes that all four of them have done remarkably well in their careers and have made various records.
