Stan Wawrinka, the three-time Grand Slam champion, has been at odds with the next-generation ATP star, which is unusual. The discussions appear to have escalated once more. In March, the Swiss suspected that the young Dane was on a risky road that might lead to his downfall later. Rune gave a scathing reaction to the words of Wawrinka.

He said that he has good friends in the locker room. He is friends with people like Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic and also that there are a lot of ‘cool guys’ on tour. Rune further said, “In life, there’s lots of jealousy, that’s all I can do say“. The dig at the Swiss star did not stop his coach from praising the player. As the two are bound to meet again, we will see how their relationship develops.
