Hopefully, we get a Jannik Sinner origins in this format. Alcaraz, Sinner, and Rune, im a fan of all three. They're all so different and unique.

[@pawshands9706]

I agree. The 3 all have dynamic and very beautiful styles along with some very serious abilities. I love them.

[@shivaramsrikanth]

You just voiced my thoughts!!

[@flash-uj6ly]

Hubert Hurkacz, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev are also there.

[@HolgerRuneFan]

Holger has it all: he's handsome, he's cute, he's dynamic and I like how he engages with his fans on social media. I love his mom too, she sacrificed so much for her boy.

[@constantin194]

Fascinating player, fascinating caracter: he's the Futur of tennis! And thank's to the ATP for this great video! Keep it going!

[@hellodolly2551]

Meh

[@lcdjnckhr]

We need more guys like him on the court. He's not shy of showing emotions during a game, it's so recognisable. Entertaining dude, who can play incredible tennis. I hope he will be nr. 1 someday. Keep going champ you got this

[@mehdimustfa1560]

15:52 have you seen this picture with Carlos on the side? It's crazy that they were friends when they were little, and now they are the best players in the world. I am sure they are going to be number 1&2 in the world for years to come, and their rivalry will just be crazy and crazy, very excited!

[@Mememeep]

such a sweet photo of them

[@joestar6194]

I'm a big fan of Rune, the fight in this kid is off the charts 💪💪💪

[@sobaeg4716]

As a big fan of tennis, I can't help but love this guy. His super strong desire to win would definitely lead him to the top. I hope he wouldn't get backfire.

[@oanhminhphan8484]

Just remember that there are more people who love you than those who don't. You have a whole awesome future ahead and wish you all the best ❤🧡

[@AJSmith-ik2lh]

Totally! The executive functions of the brain - self restraint, maturity, etc., don't fully develop until up to age 25, so holding his youthful follies against him is both silly and wrong! Mistakes are part of growing up.

[@MILOOFN]

Im from Denmark and my coach have played him before. Holger was always nice and respectful! The future of tennis :)

[@0210mick]

The wont win a slam. But dont believe me. Just see in 15 years.

[@gghhap]

@@0210mick He already beat Djokovic in a 1000 final, the question is how many slams

[@HolgerDanske874]

[@AllieB-11.11]

Holger: Thank you so much, this video changed my perspective about sport completely and motivated me a lot. If you ever read this comment - all I have to say is "wonderful work and effort put in, you are an inspiration to millions".

[@KCNwokoye]

This profile is very good to show a more wholesome side to a player. He is blessed to have a supportive family with him.

[@sil1612]

Future #1 , everyone needs to watch this video especially Holger haters. Rune is a nice kid and will accomplish a lot. Truly someone who’s just simply chasing their dreams and putting a heck of a lot of work to get there. Wish him the best, so good

[@vesnacupic-basha5238]

Arrogant something is wrong in his behaving, neurological diagnoses

[@sil1612]

@@vesnacupic-basha5238 nope 😂 you’re just one of those people huh. Watch this video, grow up, he is young and far from perfect but is working to improve and clearly has a good heart. You definitely did not even watch this video LOL

[@vesnacupic-basha5238]

His Mother is also not ok

[@0210mick]

Lol you expect the atp to put him in a bad daylight? This video means nothing

[@gabrielametodieva8360]

@@vesnacupic-basha5238 i dont know if something is wrong but he’s indeed obsessed with becoming number 1 and at a very early age. He has no patience to become the best player in the world and having Alcaraz already achieving this is not helping. At this stage he should focus on becoming the best version of himself, technically as a player and also mentally as a person - the rest should come. But he’s fixed on the end point rushing to get there asap. Last year he said he was believes he can break Rafa’s RG record. It’s good to be ambitious but he’s on another level

[@lj_2259]

What mental strength for a young man. Goodluck on your future

[@chanveron877]

Excellent video! Thank you ATP for letting us know the story of Holger. He will surely become one of the greatest ❤

[@nfmarques]

This is awesome! A player with personality who fights for what he wants. 🙌

[@lisbethmorantemacias2779]

Holger has a whole future ahead of him and what good tennis he promises. For me the best of current tennis.

[@MatiasAristizabal-ie3fs]

Let's go Holger

[@PKARL78]

Great video! And so much more personal than Alcaraz origin video. Nice to see more of the person behind the player on court.

[@joselatorre3088]

Let’s go Holger, the long-awaited dream of being number one is already coming true, you are one of the best and you will see that you will achieve it, you are a great example and may there be many successes in your professional and personal career, here you will have a fan forever.

[@jordanbrown3933]

Thank you ATP for this! Huge fan ❤️

[@Almstfam]

9:38 the difference between this guy and other players like tsitsipas, he doesn't care how it looks if you are trying to find a way to win, and that's the right mentality.

[@patrickbeaton6697]

enjoyed the vid. have followed Holger since the leg cramps playin' Novak in the '21 US Open...that grit he showed not quittin', figured this kid has somethin' special...l was right. @HolgerRune will be ATP #1 in time.👏

[@miaash3870]

A beautiful boy from a beautiful land, Denmark!

[@simOB1887]

We are so Proud of him in DENMARK. Holger thank you for bringing tennis some colours. Amazing talent, and really hard work pays off! Thanks to atp!

[@Antonio84able]

His sister is very cute. And Holger has a strong character which will lead him to more titles.

[@verena21.7]

Holger = Fighter💯🎾🇩🇰

[@marcusreins6679]

He and Alcaraz are my favorite of the new gen

He has the ambition to win. He will be no. 1 one day.

[@JohanBesterYourVocalCoach]

I love watching this guy play... fantastic to get some insight into his origins, family life, etc. Thank you so much for this ATP!

[@hugobossfan1]

He is a great boy. ❤

[@Von199X]

I think he can be number 1, he reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kobe Bryant when it comes to mentality

[@shokan3629]

Alcaraz, Sinner and Rune Big 3 incoming, big fan here let’s go Holger, show the world and go for it !

[@AllieB-11.11]

I don't think Sinner will win slams. He's too mentally fragile and doesn't like to fight like the other two. There doesn't need to be a big three. Before the last 20 years it was usually pair rivalries.

[@cregenda]

Excellent video. Give us a series of these on all of the next gen players.

[@hastomusic23]

I love this boy who always wants to be better, I'm sure he will become a great tennis player with his great consistency ⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐

[@koshelevaakatya]

love you Holger

[@shiftt.]

Rune was born a baby, and still has the face of one. Jokes aside, he's a promising talent for the new generation of tennis, along with Alcaraz, Sinner.

[@erasmogiove]

This was a great video, I'd love to see more like it and I'm pretty sure they're already in the works. Maybe a sneak peek?

[@eric6281]

Holger is the new “Ivan Drago” of tennis! Relentless!🥊

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Holger 👏💪🎾😍

[@Mrtnk700]

Need more of these

[@seaneckhart9914]

He's making Ragnar proud

[@AJSmith-ik2lh]

Love Holger and love that he has the beast within. His challenge is controlling it - making it do his bidding, instead of it controlling him.

[@GOX1234]

This kid is amazing!

[@Rune-me6ph]

For me, you are already the best :) We are flying to win :)

[@ophelia4979]

Really nice video, hope we can get other young players origins.

[@AnnPeekun-lk2qt]

I love you Rune❤

[@707ladytee]

Don't get too obsessed, Holger! I like these backstories!

[@dand2810]

This guy is here to stay. He needs to wash his image a little; his tantrums (kicking his mom out and being rude to Ruud last year) are a stain on his career; but can be forgiven given his age. But he's definitely a great player and like everyone says, we probably have a new trio of greats in tennis (Alcaraz, Rune and Sinner). I'm team Alcaraz personally, but I'm willing to change my mind and I definitely see greatness in all 3

[@sreejithanujan]

I will root for him fully when Novak retires.

[@stephanpetersen8386]

Future top 5 - Alcaraz, Sinner, Auger Aliassime, Rune, Musetti

[@AllieB-11.11]

Aliassime is completely overrated. If he was going to do anything he would've done it by now. No idea why people include him in exciting young players.
