There is a new champion in town and it is none other than the 19-year-old Danish player Holger Rune. The rising star defeated Novak Djokovic in the Paris Masters final in three sets. Former tennis player Caroline Wozniacki took to her Instagram story to congratulate her compatriot and hailed his performance.

This is a huge achievement on his end, as defeating Djokovic is not child’s play, especially when you are a set down. With this victory, Rune has established himself as one of the up-and-coming stars along with the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

Holger Rune caused a huge upset against Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic is not an easy foe for any player on the court. This is proved by his astounding 21 grand slam titles and other impeccable records, like never losing an ATP 1000 match after winning the first set. So, defeating him in the finals in Paris is a huge achievement, especially if you’re a teenager who has idolized such legendary players.

Former world no.1 Caroline Wozniacki hailed the young Danish player through an Instagram story. She stated, “Congrats Holger! What an achievement! It’s fun watching your hard work pay off! Enjoy your win and remember to take it in and celebrate with your team and family! You deserved it!”
