"It means everything to me, a perfect way to finish the week," said Rune. "It's a privilege to share the court with Novak. I’m feeling lovely to be honest, it’s the best feeling,” said Rune. “If you told me four weeks ago, I would be Top 10… I would be like ‘What, sorry?’. Now I’m here and I’m super proud."
