Eugenie Bouchard has discovered a kindred spirit in Holger Rune after hearing about the Dane's love for sleep in a press conference.
Rune, who is currently ranked 6th in the world, is one of the most promising players of this generation. The 20-year-old has won four career titles including a Paris Masters title and is currently in the fourth round of the 2023 French Open.
Bouchard recently shared a video from a press conference at Roland Garros which featured Rune mentioning that he sleeps for 9-13 hours per night.
"I sleep a lot. I love to sleep. I probably sleep around 9 to 13 hours if I can. It's a lot. I really like it. I think it's the best recovery that you can have. I actually think the muscles relax. Everything relaxes when you sleep," Rune said.
The Canadian was amused by Rune's comments and related to his enthusiasm for sleeping.
"Finally found someone as obsessed with sleep as I am!", Bouchard wrote on Instagram.
Bouchard, who is currently ranked 221st in the world, has been struggling with injuries and form in recent years. The former World No. 5 reached the final of Wimbledon in 2014 and has not won a single WTA title since. She is hoping to regain her confidence and fitness as she prepares for the grass-court season.
