Holger Rune and Juan Manuel Cerundolo

[James P]

Have returned to the Challenger circuit this week. Both are having a hard time sticking around in the big boy league of the ATP. JMC has actually fallen out of the top 100, and Holger has done little since his breakthrough, himself. Maybe a return to winning form will give these two some confidence to return to the tour.

Rune, top seed in Sanremo.
Cerundolo, #2 seed in Murcia.

 

[Fabresque]

Two nobodies. Rune is famous for yelling “f*ggot” at his opponent and the other guy isn’t even the most famous Cerundolo. That’s all you need to know.

 

[Zoid]

Neither has a real standout attritibute. It's hard to be consistent without a weapon, you're at the mercy of your opponent unless you are an elite mover and a talented point-constructer with a natural feel for the game, like a Gaston or Moutet

 

[Fivehand]

Rune thought he was the real deal until reality hit him.

 

[weakera]

Rune actually looked okay in IW

Amazingly enough, it isn't that simple to just make it at the top at that age the way some people seem to expect.

Though I'm not sure what Rune even did to earn the hype in the first place. Edge a tiebreak?
