Rune remarks: I should have pulled out following Marozsan’s defeat.
Before his match against Fabian Marozsan, Holger Rune explained that he wasn’t feeling well and acknowledged that he ought to have pulled out of the match sooner.
Global No. 57 On Sunday afternoon in Miami, Fabian Marozsan upset sixth seed Holger Rune 6-1, 6-1, sending shockwaves through the Miami Open.
Rune has since written on social media to express his opinion that Marozsan ought to have withdrew before the match, despite the fact that he has developed something of a reputation as a giant-killer over the previous 12 months.
Shortly after his Sunday defeat to Marozsan, Rune lamented, Unfortunately, this was the end of the Miami Open [for me]. Although I was aware that I wasn’t feeling well today, I hadn’t anticipated having such low energy.
Looking back I ought to have given up. However, I always find it challenging because I’ve been wanting to play and preparing for a week. It’s time to return to Europe. Miami, thank you for your support.
Rune’s career-worst performance on the ATP Tour, the defeat effectively ends a strong run of play as the Dane advanced to the Acapulco semifinals and the Indian Wells quarterfinals.
