Speaking at a press conference ahead of the ATP Buenos Aires 2025, the Danish star shared insights into his rapid transition between surfaces, his recent struggles, and the importance of having his family by his side on tour. Adapting to Clay and Eyeing Roland Garros After competing in Europe, Rune has now turned his attention to the South American clay court swing. Despite the quick turnaround, he remains optimistic about the change. - Advertisement - “I’ve already had my first practice. I arrived this morning, so I’m still adjusting to the conditions. The last time I played here was three years ago, and I’m a completely different player now. I feel more established and confident. It’s still early to think about it, but the next Grand Slam is on clay,” Rune stated. From Rotterdam to Buenos Aires: A Tough Transition The 20-year-old acknowledged that the switch from hard courts in Europe to clay in Argentina has been physically demanding. - Advertisement - “I see this as a great opportunity to build confidence on clay, both here and in Rio next week. It hasn’t been easy. Just two days ago, I was in Rotterdam, and I got sick after my first match, which made things even more complicated. I stayed in my room to recover, and now I’m feeling much better. It was a tough schedule this year, especially with Davis Cup in between. I expected a better result in Rotterdam, but getting sick there set me back.” The Role of Family on Tour Rune also opened up about the importance of having his family—particularly his mother and sister—with him while competing. “Tennis players are constantly traveling, and it can be tough. That’s why it’s really special to have my family with me on tour. Their support makes everything easier and helps make life on the road feel more like home.” With his eyes set on the clay season, Rune hopes to regain momentum and gear up for Roland Garros, where he aims to make a deep run in the year’s second Grand Slam. - Advertisement - - Advertisement - 0 Share FacebookTwitterGoogle+ReddItWhatsAppPinterestEmail
