According to Rune, he found it difficult to get into the game due to nerves initially. However, the Dane managed to find his rhythm later in the match.
“This victory is very important to me. It was a great match. At the beginning, I was a bit nervous because Carlos plays excellent tennis. I needed to breathe properly and find my rhythm.”
