Holger Rune
Our CEO, João, spent nearly a year working closely with Holger Rune, focusing on the mental side of the game and gaining first-hand insight into what a future Top 10 champion is truly made of.
That intense work later became part of Nexus’ DNA: demanding, relentless, and built on the standards of the very top of the sport.
JOURNEY
Holger Rune is far more than people imagine. He is a force of nature, and when his focus is aligned with his goals, he has the capacity to beat anyone in the world. His trajectory is that of a future No. 1.
His work with João reflected that reality. The journey included Grand Slam quarterfinals, a semifinal in Paris, a title in Barcelona, and a final in Indian Wells. Even with injuries interrupting the path, the progression was undeniable and the level consistently world-class.
One of the defining moments came at Roland-Garros, where Holger led Zverev two sets to one in the quarterfinals, a performance that confirmed his place among the very best. Paris has always carried a special weight, and those battles highlighted both his talent and his resilience.
Holger is a sensational competitor, with a mentality and game built for the very top. For our CEO, it was a year immersed in clarity of purpose, hard work, and a shared belief in what was to come. The future is certain: he will stand as one of the sport’s defining players.
