Holger Rune, the Danish tennis star, is not in the greatest form of his life. But, throughout his ups and downs, he has had the staunch support of his family. That includes his girlfriend as well. But, how well do his fans know about one of the most important women in the life of the 20-year-old rising star?

The 20-year-old had a breakthrough season in 2022 but has had difficulty keeping up his form. He reached a career-high ranking of 4 in August after his stint in the US Open. But he was unable to maintain it and lost many matches consecutively. Now, he sits at rank 6. However, Rune has partnered with Boris Becker to come back to his previous level. Currently, in the Swiss Indoors, the Danish player is ripping the competition apart. His improvement has piqued the curiosity among fans about his personal life.

Are Rune and his girlfriend set to be the next power couple?

Being in a relationship when one is a public figure can prove to be a challenging task. But if all parties in the relationship are public figures, the challenge goes up a notch higher. When he shared the video of him holding hands with his new girlfriend, many in the comment section said that they hoped he wasn’t affected like Stefanos Tsitsipas.

After Wimbledon, Rune has been struggling with his performance. Since his relationship came to light, many have criticized Donzella for holding him back. Former Danish tennis player Michael Mortensen said that a new relationship makes it difficult to focus on tennis, which is probably the situation with Rune at the moment.

However, the 20-year-old tennis star came out and defended his girlfriend. He said, “The results are nobody’s fault. It’s my fault. It has absolutely nothing to do with her.” Even Boris Becker came to her defense, saying that she is kind and understanding and great for Rune.
