Holger Rune Uses the Perfect Novak Djokovic Example to Slam ‘Stupid’ Netflix’s Curse That Gripped Australian Open

Apart from being a sensational tennis player, Holger Rune expanded his boundaries and made an appearance at the recent Netflix docuseries called ‘Break Point’. However, as they say, if your feature, the ‘Netflix Curse‘ might you badly. But, Rune does not seem to care about this at all, as his recent statements would prove.

Not only this, he came ahead and gave the example of tennis icon Novak Djokovic as well as Belarusian beauty Aryna Sabalenka to put this debate to bed.

Holger Rune outrightly bashes Netflix’s curse

In a recent interview, Holger Rune suggested that he isn’t buying into the idea of a “Netflix curse“. It is said that there is a curse that impacts players sometimes after they have been featured on Netflix. He called the idea “stupid” and rejected any connection between a player’s performance and being part of the documentary.

Rune used the example of Novak Djokovic. He said that Djokovic could do multiple Netflix series and still win Grand Slams. According to Rune, success in tennis is about a player’s skills and dedication, not some supposed jinx tied to a TV show. To back up his point, Rune mentioned Aryna Sabalenka, who also featured in the series and still went on to win the Australian Open last year.

“I think it’s stupid, to be honest. No offense. I think it’s nothing to do with that. I think Novak could do ten Netflix series and still win 20 Grand Slams or 24. It’s really something that it’s not about that. I think Sabalenka did a few already, and she won Australian Open last year. I don’t know. Yeah, that’s it,” said Rune in the interview.

While Rune featured in the second season of Break Point, his fans are very excited about what is it exactly they can get to know about the Danish player in the series.

Break Point reveals the determination and mindset of Rune

“Break Point” season 2, episode 2, is all about Holger Rune, a young tennis star, and his determination to reach the top. The show shares Rune’s story from dreaming about being a great player to actually making it happen. It highlights the strong support he gets from his family, especially his mom, Aneke Rune.

The documentary also talks about Rune’s close connection with Patrick Mouratoglou, who coached Serena Williams. It shows how focused Rune is on getting the best out of his tennis skills. Since he was very young, Rune told his family about his tennis dream, and they’ve been supporting him all the way.

“When he was younger, he went full in whatever he did. He didn’t care about what other people thought. To be so strong-minded so young, I think it helped him a lot,” said his mom.

Fans can witness a whole new perspective of their favorite superstar in the latest series. While his family was very supportive, he never thought of giving up and went all the way in.
