Taking advice from a professional, Holger Rune warms up on clay courts alongside the world’s no. 1 player, Novak Djokovic, every year during the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.

Rune and Djokovic hit, stretched, and took a selfie on the practice court prior to the start of the first Masters 1000 of the clay-court swing. This is their third selfie together, going back to Rune’s rookie season in 2021. They mature so quickly!

Since pulling out of the Miami Open last month, Djokovic has not been on the court. He intends to play his first match in Monte Carlo following his early withdrawal from Indian Wells, where he lost shockingly to Italian lucky loser Luca Nardi.

Rune, who felt unwell against eventual quarterfinalist Fabian Marozsan, is also looking for motivation following his own heartbreaking defeat in Miami.

Although Djokovic has gladly mentored Rune off the court, the two have one of the strongest rivalries in the men’s game when it comes to on-court competition. Although Djokovic leads their head-to-head series 3-2, Rune prevailed in their most recent clay-court match in May in Rome.

This spring, is the Dane able to put up another outstanding performance? In what way will Djokovic enter the clay swing?
