Speaking about his mother, Holger Rune had earlier said, “She’s a huge influence. She really helps to kind of keep me in the perfect state of mind. Obviously, she knows me better than anybody. That’s also why she’s travelling with me for every tournament. I want her for every tournament. I want her there because I really feel the support. Also, if I feel like I have something that I want to get off my heart or something, I can always come to her and talk. We have this very unique relationship.”

Aneke Rune reveals she always offers honest opinions to her son
A few months back, Aneke said, “At some point, I think there will be a girlfriend he can talk to and then it’s not me anymore. But I think it’s different to have someone who is not that directly involved on-court in how you’ve to play. It’s nice to have someone off-court that you can talk to.”
She further added, “When he comes to me and asks for an honest opinion, he always gets it honest. It’s easier to be honest when you’re a parent because… you can hate your parents. But it’s so rare that you hate them for life. Even though he may get pissed when I say the truth, I always do, and I think he likes it because he knows he can trust me.“
