The previous season’s ATP Paris Masters featured one of the most heated matches between Stan Wawrinka and Holger Rune, as a lot of words were exchanged. It was the Danish tennis player who prevailed in their first meeting on the men’s circuit. After that match, Wawrinka was apparently not impressed with the ward of Serena Williams‘ former coach and gave him some blunt advice.

They faced off again at the ongoing BNP Paribas Open, but this time the Swiss tennis star triumphed. Unfortunately, another unpleasant exchange was witnessed between the two as Rune tried to bring to light their previous season’s drama. Taking note of that, the fans slammed the Danish star for his disrespectful demeanor.

“What you want me to say? Stan just don’t gaf Lmao”

“Holger is amazing talent and future of our sport but he needs to improve his behaviour and sportsmanship”

“He should tell him “Don’t act like a baby again””

“To quote a great player: Rune is a small kid who doesn’t know how to fight.”

“All Rune did there was proving Stan’s point and hurting his self image once again. Sometimes it’s best to stay quiet when emotions are running high.”

“HOLGER RUNE biggest clown on the circuit”

“Well he’s still being a child o but now Stan shut the kids mouth on the court with class, always respectful. Rune will never even get close to what Stan has done in this era with such players. But yeah whatever Rune”

“Rune honestly is a brat but Stan’s “advice” to him was more of a shot after a loss than Stan being a nice guy trying to help him”
