With French Open going in full swing, the heat is quite high amongst the players. One such young player is Holger Rune who definitely has proved his worth on the court. However, when he is off of it, he is not ready to take on some superfluous remark. Despite being a sensational player on the court, Rune has garnered a negative name in the tennis realm because of his rude demeanor, especially after last year’s cold handshake with opponent Casper Ruud.

Once again, as he has made it into the quarter-finals of the French Open, he is not ready to listen to anyone’s remarks on sportsmanship.
