Sinner, there is a smell of cheating: very serious accusations

Sinner, the accusations made leave no room for any interpretation: Jannik is also involved, here’s why.

He’s always mad at someone. Or rather, someone is always mad at him, if you listen to it Holger Rune. It’s not the first time the Dane has gone crazy, but it’s common opinion that this time he really went too far. It all happened to Madridduring the Masters 1000 underway at Caja Magica.

The Gentofte native’s negative streak continues: the former Boris Becker protégé exited already in the third round, after three fiery sets against Tallonn Griekspoor. Before that he had won, again in three sets, against the Argentine Mariano Navone. On that occasion, however, he had made fire and flames, in the true sense of the word, improvising a “show” that is already destined to go down in history. In fact, among the many shots made on the court by tennis players, Rune’s will forever be remembered as one of the worst.

In the most heated moment of the match, at the end of the last set, Holger made some very serious accusations against the organizers of the Iberian tournament. Up until then the match had been anything but simple and the number 11 seed had fallen into difficulty several times. Hence the belief that they were trying to cheat him. Yes, you understood correctly. To cheat.

Sinner, fury on the pitch: fingers pointed at the tournament

This is the accusation that Rune made against the owners of the house, who, according to him, were guilty of sabotaging him. “The tournament is trying to cheat me, they didn’t put a string on my racket“he told the chair umpire, insisting over and over again.

Not that what he did surprised us that much, mind you. Gentofte’s bad boy is anything but new to controversy, accustomed as he is to clashes and shows in the public square. Now he has it with the public, now with his opponents or with the chair umpire: he is always able to find a pretext, in short, to stir things up a little and to show off his character a little smoking.

Just over a week earlier he had pointed the finger, once he had suffered the defeat by us Jannik Sinneragainst the ATP: “They didn’t put me in the best conditions, they didn’t give me enough rest. And the umpire missed a crucial call.” Even then, however, the list of provocations and controversies was very long, because Rune, essentially, put on a show from the first day of his entry into the major circuit. Why don’t you admit that you are the only one responsible for your own defeats: in one way or another, it is always the fault of others…
