Astounding by Rune. He had one of the most difficult draws probably in tennis history: Wawrinka, Hurkacz, Rublev, Alcaraz, Auger-Aliassime and finally Djokovic in the final. Not only FIVE top 10 players, but FOUR Master's 1000 winners, THREE GS champions, one of the all-time greats, and the hottest player on the planet in Auger-Aliassime who was on a 16 match unbeaten run with 3 back-to-back titles. I was quite sure he was going to choke at the end there, succumbing to the huge pressure trying to serve out the championship, and that we'd witness another Djokovic tiebreak win for the trophy but Rune somehow didn't fold. The kid is unreal.

He is going to be 37 in french open next year and he is not fit fully , still struggling with injuries I think, Novak has a chance , but next year is his last year to try to win anything. That's my opinion. They don't have to prove anything anymore anyway. I wonder how many GS will Alcaraz win or other guys. I am pretty sure they won't break the records. And it will be nothing special if Rafa looses in french open being 37. If Alcaraz beats him let's say it won't be any achievement, he would never beat him in his prime so.... Same applies to Nole.

This is a very good taught match for the two 🎾 player's I always respect my Idol Djokovic💖

[@simonnielsen7582]

He is different than the other next gen players. He has the mental ability and fighting spirit. And he is far from a complete player. Watch out for this guy

[@larrybu2000]

This is an amazing match that we have to watch the whole match; every game was so intense. Rune’s clutch, confidence, intelligence, talent, mental toughness are out of the world.

[@hirenpatel3699]

Wow wow...this gives me same feeling when alcaraz defeated djokovic in Madrid this year...we all knew a star was born... Tough to say but this is even better from Rune...the character & fight he showed is incredible not only today but whole week...right from saving match points against stan till today..he played awesome tennis.. Hope Rune can play ATP Finals as well (if rafa pulls out) ...and if he does, he will be the favorite..

[@james-vx7nv]

Wouldnt quite put Rune as the favourite. Djokovic is the favourite, that being said hes not as heavy a favourite as he would be at other tournaments such as AO and Wimbledon. Will be interesting to see if FAA gets drawn into Djokovics RR group. If he does that makes things really interesting. Nadal wont be much of a contest sadly if he lands in Djokovics RR group. After going up a set and a break Nadals level dropped so badly. Really hope one day Nadal can capture Bercy and ATP finals but time is running out, and hes not always healthy enough to play those final 2 events of the season :(

[@hirenpatel3699]

@@james-vx7nv Yup, didn't wanted to be rude to Nadal fans but it's actually better that he pulled out before start of the tournament as he might pull out after 1 or 2 matches anyways (and almost has 0% chance to win this title)..so that alternate player gets to play all 3 matches...and obviously rune in this form will be a much bigger threat to everyone then nadal and might win the tournament as well.. Time already ran out for Nadal to win these 2 tournaments I'm afraid .. He wasn't even able to play all 3 matches in lot of occasions (ATP Finals) and I think it's 2013 when the last time he made it to the final...

[@pauljohnson6019]

@@hirenpatel3699 Nadal might not even win French Open next year, forget about hc- whether fast or slow surface.

[@hirenpatel3699]

@@pauljohnson6019 Yup, end is near..2023 could well be his last year as well..

[@james-vx7nv]

@@hirenpatel3699 He had near 0% chance of winning AO this year. Even before the tournament he had near 0% chance. Then he was down 2 sets in the final. Then serving at 2-3 0-40 in the third. We all know what happened about three hours later :) Anything is possible but indoor hard is much tougher for him, and Djokovic is there, whereas he was not at AO this year. Nadal said if he is healthy he would give it a shot. Lets see if he can pull off another miracle.

Holger danske new champion next 15 20 years , i hope , 🇩🇰.

[@scottstorchfan]

great to se Edberg deliver the trophy!

[@riccardonoto9941]

We can say Rune followed Wawrinka's advice at the first round😂

[@ameeldezi]

The first time Rune impressed me was against Ruud in that french open match.Rune was playing some tennis in RG until he lost in quarters I think. He was playing super tennis then and now having beaten Felix who came off the back of 3 tournament wins says a lot about Rune. He plays a bit like Novak himself and a touch of Sinner like backhands,this boy can play......

[@kolega427]

Felix looked very tired yesterday. It was not a good match at all. The match today was a hundred times better

[@ameeldezi]

@@kolega427 Yes could have been I did not watch the Felix match tbh but this guy the way he beat Alcaraz earlier, played some exquisite backhands....has talent for sure

[@HeavyTopspin]

He was giving Nole a taste of his own medicine with the mixing of speeds and spins today. Impressive performance!

[@kingmajo87]

With guys like Alcaraz,FAA,Rune and Sinner the future of tennis in general is in good hands. Congrats to Holger for an incredible week here in Paris and all the best for the NextGen Finals and for the future.

[@westonmeyer3110]

He isn’t playing in the next Gen finals, he is 1st alternate for the ATP finals after Fritz replaced Alcaraz.

[@ashleyguriah9812]

I love Novak with all my heart and soul....BUT that kid is demonstrating a mental,,physical and emotional prowess that is making Novak proud as evident when he claps for him at the awards ceremony......still though, he has to take on the other X factor kids...Alcaraz, Felix,,and the 2 outgoing legends, Nadal and Novak...wonderful few years of tennis ahead....excited !!!

[@jcrisp90]

Djokovic, always gracious when he loses. i respect that a lot

[@rusty935]

Novak not being able to clutch it out is as rare as seeing halies comet... rune was just incredible today

[@pauljohnson6019]

Federer curse 40-15- ha!

[@toutouzim007]

Fantastic match and both enjoyed. Rune has an awesome athleticism. And really enjoyable to watch. And he is young. If he goes on progressing…he will be difficult to beat.

[@miriamlinton9528]

My hat off to you Rune! Well done and congratulations 🎊 🎉🎉

[@miriamlinton9528]

I have a news for you if you have a notice he has shifted his priorities since becoming a father and they’re too young guns that are gunning for the top spot so anyone can win yesterday AO.

[@bamboo851]

Rune was playing out of his mind. After watching his next gen day in the life, you could see how much work he has been putting in. Well deserved.

[@clearbluewater9784]

Defeating djoko in a indoor master hardcourt final, not even Nadal can do it, this is impressive, esp for a tennager.

[@gf0878]

From 6 losses in-a-row, to 19-2 result before ATP finals, it seems like Mouratoglou's help is massive to Rune, four finals in four weeks. Maybe some people would think Rune was only the black horse in FO, but now he proves himself

[@kevinrombouts3027]

Phenomenal the young generation are coming through with all their energy and skill.

[@AL-sb3qg]

Congrats for young star! His forehand reminds me of Courier's forehand. So many errors at the net by Djokovic. He just can only hold the raquet, he don't feel the ball enough to play rough net points. If Novak stay behind, he would win I think.

[@pablorodrigo3857]

La verdad hasta hace dos semanas no sabía quien era este muchacho y ahora que ganó el torneo venciendo a los mejores del mundo seguro todos saben quién es, gran talento

[@vipinviswanathan3376]

Excellent talent. Future grand slam champion

[@funkslave9425]

This kid is the real deal! He could end up better than Alcaraz, lets see how they go.

[@accretionescapee]

Rune beat 5 top ten players and another grand slam champion who beat the World No.4 last week and No.5 a month ago - Wawrinka. He defeated two grand slam champions and 5 top ten players!!! Congrats to Holger and Mouratoglou

[@utkarshdeshmukh6414]

Djokovic is the most consistent, complete, all round player of all time but there is always scope for improvement in his game. 1. He has to throw out the drop shots when they are not working. 2. His volleys let him down so often. Especially positioning. 3. His smash - less said the better!

[@my8osprive]

Djokovic is a baseline machine... his netplay is good but not excellent. I think Federer is a more complete player but less consistent than Djokovic.

[@Ed-jv3xu]

Holger Rune the way you played, with so much skill & most important HEART. Congratulations on your WIN!

[@ps.maximilianostange4239]

What a match! Best of the year for sure!

[@joses.a.2]

Reminds me of Berdych. Great to see new young players. This one seems to have a good attitude!

[@idaimawomantrapsinsideaman5004]

He's really arrogant when he's winning but is friendly to his opponents ( also his mental is really bad then he easily smashes his racket )

[@juanpabloviano9673]

Me animo a pronosticar qué este jovencito ( Runer) va a dominar la escena del tenis mundial por varios años junto con Alcaraz y Sinner, y algunos más, los nuevos clásicos entre ellos han llegado, bienvenido!!👌🎾🎾

[@sylacauga]

What fighting spirit from Rune to comeback like that against Djokovic in his first Masters final! When Edberg presented Rune with the trophy, they looked like they could be father and son.

[@subhadeepmandal9639]

The next gen Rafa ?

What a player Rune ! Well deserved

[@dheerajkeerthiwad5290]

Holger had an unbelievable week. Not many have managed to win their first match against Djokovic. Great to see Stefan Edberg!.

[@avinashtadiboyina7937]

Wawrinka, hurkacz, rublev, alcaraz, FAA, djokovic. No one else deserves this tournament better than him

[@andrewmark2783]

Very intelligent play from Rune, taking the pace out of rallies and a) allowing himself back into the points, and more importantly b) forcing Djokovic to inject pace, which he doesn't really like to do.

[@mp-uh1jm]

That's why you want djokovic to be part of any tournament...just makes the whole thing so much more competitive and brings the best out of his opponents

Fearless tennis from Rune

[@williamverlaber3984]

Novak's comment earlier about Rune being a good guy from a nice family, made me wonder if that was a dig at those who took issue with him in the past. Hopefully he is an admirable man as it looks like we will be seeing him be successful.

[@hirsch4155]

Who gives af what kind of family he comes from. This is Tennis not the Sopranos.
