Rune hopes his rare court rage helps needy causes
The Straits Times
|June 26, 2025
Holger Rune has put the mangled rackets that have borne the brunt of his frustration in matches over the years up for sale, among a collection of items in his new online store which he hopes will help charitable causes.
The world No. 8 from Denmark launched the website over the weekend, giving fans the chance to buy items such as books, posters and playing cards, as well as match-worn clothing.
While many of the items sold out in a flash, several used rackets were on sale for close to US$6,000 (S$7,700), while two that were bent and smashed beyond repair during the Dane's rare moments of rage on court were priced at more than US$7,000.
