Holger Rune's sister, Alma Rune, has reacted to the Dane reaching his maiden final in the Barcelona Open. He defeated Karen Khachanov in the semifinal in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.

The Dane's sister, Alma Rune, summed up her excitement in one word for his brilliant run in Barcelona. She shared an update via social media and said:

"Bravo," Alma Rune reacted via her Instagram account
