The 20-year-old tennis star Holger Rune is always smitten by the talent of Novak Djokovic. Why wouldn’t that be? After losing against the world’s number-one tennis star in the Nitto ATP Finals, Rune experienced Djokovic as a true legend in tennis.

He’s won Rome six times,” Now Rune’s words express that he is not just a colleague of Djokovic but a great fan as well. Playing against him is nothing but a sheer respect for this 20-year-old player.
