Rune has only had one match on the dirt this season. He played it as part of a competition in Buenos Aires, where he lost to Mariano Navona in the opening match. Holger had 11 wins and six losses on clay last season.
Professional qualities
It is difficult to find weak points in Rune. Perhaps he needs to improve his psychology a little, because emotions often take over and he loses matches because of this. Otherwise, Holger is in perfect order - he has a good strong serve and excellent forehand and backhand shots in his arsenal.

Professional qualities
Borges' serve is at a decent level, as is his forehand. It is these components of the game that allow him to succeed on fast courts.
