Holger Rune states that he is “ready” and “eager to achieve” his objective of completing a Grand Slam in 2024.

When asked what he hoped to accomplish in 2024, he told ausopen.com, “Winning a Grand Slam.” It’s a major objective of mine, you know. I’ve been working toward it my entire life, so I’m excited to get there.
Over the past four months, Rune has made a number of substantial changes to his coaching staff.
He began working with Boris Becker in October and most recently brought on Severin Luthi to his staff.
Both Becker and Luthi have won major championships alongside elite players, Djokovic and Federer, respectively.
Holger Rune said, “When I’m on the court, I always believe in myself.”
Holger Rune is set for Grand Slam glory in the 2024
“I think I’m prepared to win a Grand Slam,” It wouldn’t happen, for sure, if I didn’t think I was prepared for it.
This week in Brisbane, Holger Rune began his season by registering for both singles and doubles matches, where he partnered with former world No. 1 Andy Murray.
In their first encounter, the two lost in three sets, and Holger Rune wishes he could have spent more time with Murray to perhaps learn from him.
He remarked, “To be honest, we didn’t have much time for that. I wish we had more time.”
We might be able to talk a little bit more if we had won a few games. But that’s the reality.
Holger Rune gave the following explanation of how the collaboration came about: “I asked him about a month ago if he wanted to play doubles here in Brisbane to get some matches and prepare for the Australian Open.” It was enjoyable and he said yes.
It was excellent. We were unable to win, but I thought we played some excellent doubles and had a great time sharing the court with him.
Throughout the week, Rune hoped to pick up tips and tricks from the two-time Olympic gold champion.
He remarked, “To be honest, we didn’t have much time for that. I wish we had more time.”
We might be able to talk a little bit more if we had won a few games. But that’s the reality.
Rune defeated Max Purcell in his Brisbane singles debut before defeating Alexander Shevchenko in three sets.
In the tournament’s quarterfinals, the eighth-ranked player in the world will take on James Duckworth as the top seed.
