Holger Rune believes he is playing close to his 'best tennis' as he prepares for run at French Open

Holger Rune says he is playing close to his ‘best tennis’ ahead of the French Open. The current world No. 6 reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 edition of Roland-Garros and beat Novak Djokovic on his way to the final of the Italian Open last week.
