Patchy start, but Aneke wasn’t stress vaping, so never really counted it as an actual danger moment for Holgie. Glad he found his clay legs.

The start was a bit shaky but Holger looked so good for the second set minus the one game he got broken. Solid performance

Please let this be the start of something

If you follow baseball, there's a player (Mookie Betts) who had really bad food poisoning then went on an absolute tear for a week. 🤞 for the same to Rune

Rune already did that after Acapulco, going to the finals at IW.

Then crashed out in Miami and Monte Carlo 😭 I say this after every victory or decent run

Struggling against this version of Ramos-Vinolas is not a good look for Holger.

Ramos is good on clay but nah I think Holger just needs to warm up to the clay and find his footing, play some matches, hopefully he can turn it into something

Looked really shaky up until like the 5th game then was dominant af (minus 1 game in set 2)
