French Open: Dispute between Casper Ruud and Holger Rune – allegations of lying from both camps after the quarter-finals

After the long and exhausting duel on the court, the minds of the two Scandinavians should not have cooled down quickly after the game.

Rune reported to “Ekstra Bladet” that Ruud after reaching the semi-finals (6: 1, 4: 6, 7: 6, 6: 3) set up in front of him in the cabin wing and cheered loudly: “His team was actually very nice, but then he comes straight to me and yells ‘JAAA!’ in the face.”

A reproach that doesn’t actually fit into the overall picture of the encounter. While Rune was abusive towards his team in the pits, Ruud showed his serene side. Rune’s statements put the number eight in the world in a completely different light.

Wrongly so, as Christian Ruud now claims. The father and trainer of shooting star Casper made it clear to Eurosport in Norway: “That’s just a lie from Holger.”

However, Ruud Sr. did not want to go into detail about the allegations. “There is nothing more to say because it is a pure lie,” he underscored. Team Ruud’s focus is now on the upcoming semi-final against Marin Cilic (Friday live on Eurosport and in the ticker on Eurosport.de).

“The father wasn’t there when it happened, he left,” she explained. The incident happened while Rune was waiting for the doping control. “So the father can’t comment on that,” says Aneke Rune.

“It’s one thing for my son to be yelled at. It’s another for the father to lie to the press,” she said.

Rune himself, in turn, had spoken up a little earlier about another excitement: The 19-year-old was criticized for his behavior towards his mother, but However, Rune denied the allegations.
