Is Rune the next De Minoré

[GRASScaraz]

Moves fast, great passing shots. Can he reach that level?

4-0 vs Stef? deMidaur could never!

If you're drunk then maybe yes.

De Minaur is known for mental toughness, so unless Rune is known for his head too, no

 

[Keizer]

Rune’s ceiling is stories above De Minaur’a. De Minaur is a Ferrer at best and I love the guy. He’s one of those guys that you wish had the fast twitch muscles and effortless power you see in some far less dedicated players.

Will reach a major F at best but no slams. Another MaliVai Washington tbh

 

[Bubcay]

You mean DeManure ?

 

[Berrettini_Fan]

How does Rune's girlfriend compare to De Minaur's?

 

[Sudacafan]

No, he's not the next minuet.

He would need Carlos, Sinner and even dare I say Fritz to lose early to have a chance at winning a slam.
He's already shown he can beat Carlos and Djokovic in a M1000.

Carlos didn’t even finish the match. Let’s do the talking when he beats Carlos in a slam

Rune seems to me to have his mentality straight this tournament, as in not letting his frustration/disappointment in a few errors carry on too long and send him off the rails. That’s a switch.

He would have finished if he won the first set. It definitely seemed like one of those mind game tactics to retire so there's questions about the loss.
Hopefully, he does play better in slams so we have a big 3 again or a solid rotating 3rd. JS and CA have outstanding offense and defense a level above the rest.
