Victories and losses are a part of a tennis player’s life! Their career consists of both parts, but sometimes, facing continuous losses can become a problem on and off the tennis court. The Danish tennis sensation, Holger Rune, has been going through a similar rough patch. Although players getting criticized and, on rare occasions, threats from angry fans are a common occurrence, Rune has had to deal with a peculiar situation. His family has become a target of malicious accounts in the tennis world.

Although the 20-year-old is giving his best, he and his family are facing a lot of flak because of his recent performances. Now his sister has found a clear way to deal with all the negative messages she has been receiving from fans.

Following his dismissal, Alma was on the receiving end of continuous abuse on social media. Recently, she issued a public statement condemning the act.
