Holger Rune is currently ranked 6 in the ATP. It is certain that he couldn’t have reached the level he is at without the support of his family. While Rune has fantastic mentors in Lars Christensen and Boris Becker, the Danish star comes from a very supportive family, with practically everyone having experience in the world of sports. Rune is currently looking to earn back his career-high ranking (World No.4), and his family is with him every step of the way, especially his sister, Alma Nødskov Rune.

Rune has gained some of his old form back after failing to register back-to-back wins. Therefore, fans and followers of the Danish star are keen to know about his personal life, especially his family.

How Alma Rune became the famous sibling of the rising tennis star

Alma first became a prominent figure when she was seen supporting her brother in the stands in the 2022 French Open. Alma Rune caught the media’s attention as her brother triumphed 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 over fourth-seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. Cameras panned to scoop the model’s stunning look at the Stade Roland Garros.

Much of social media chimed in and said that the cameras were too focused on Alma and not enough on the players. Egyptian sports journalist Reem Abulleil wrote on ‘X’, “Haven’t seen a broadcast this obsessed with one single figure in the stands as this director has been with Rune’s sister this entire match.”
