Novak Djokovic loses to Holger Rune, again, this time at Italian

ROME: Novak Djokovic sees a bit of himself in Holger Rune. The 20-year-old Danish player is solid in nearly every area: A great mover and super fit physically, he’s strong off both his forehand and backhand, has good hands and is an aggressive returner. Perhaps that’s why Rune has now recorded two victories over Djokovic in little more than six months, beating the 22-time Grand Slam champion 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 Wednesday to reach the Italian Open semifinals. Rune, who also defeated Djokovic in the Paris Masters final in November, gave the Serb fits with his rapid court coverage.
