Holger Rune’s Mother Slams Viral Rumors About Jannik Sinner Doping Claims
Holger Rune’s mother, Aneke Rune, has spoken out strongly after false rumors circulated online, claiming she accused fellow tennis star Jannik Sinner of doping.
The viral misinformation quickly gained traction on social media, prompting Aneke to publicly shut it down with a sharp three-word response:
“100% fake news.”
The situation escalated after trolls falsely claimed Aneke was taking legal action against the Novak Djokovic-led Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), further fueling the fire.
In a now-deleted post, she lashed out at those spreading the rumors:
“Stop spreading fake information constantly!”
The Backstory
The controversy appears to have stemmed from a misinterpreted or fabricated quote suggesting that Aneke had accused Sinner of being banned for doping—an allegation with no factual basis. No such statement was ever made by her, and there is no truth to the claims.
Both Sinner and Rune are among the rising stars of the ATP Tour, and while competition is fierce, there has been no indication of bad blood between the two camps.
Social Media Reacts
The tennis community was quick to respond, with many fans and insiders defending Sinner and criticizing the spread of misinformation. Aneke Rune’s swift and firm denial has helped put the matter to rest—at least for now.
