Holger Rune reflects on his 2023 season, says he could have "done some things better"
Holger Rune admitted that he should have done certain things "better" on tour in the 2023 season.
In a recent press conference, the Dane said he was proud of himself for finishing in the top eight of the ATP rankings. However, he expressed a desire to improve further by learning from this year's mistakes. Rune said via ATP Tour:
"I had a good season. When you finish in the top eight, you can be proud of yourself. I think that I could have done some things better this year — actually, a lot of things. That's how it is. It's a learning process. Next year I'm going to try to learn from this year. It's a good experience to be at this level."
The 20-year-old maintained that he will not rush things and will take proper rest before commencing next year's preparations. He added:
"There's no need to worry about anything... I'm just going to take some rest and start my pre-season."
Holger Rune concluded his 2023 season at the ATP Finals. He failed to qualify for the semi-finals at the year-end tournament after falling to Jannik Sinner in the final group-stage match. He finished the season with a win-loss percentage of 64.7%.
