In preparation for the 2024 edition of the Monte-Carlo Masters, Rune was recently seen practising with World No. 1 Novak Djokovic. The Dane shared pictures from the previous occasions when the two had practiced ahead of the tournament.
“We keep the traditions. Opening practice at @rolexmontecarlomasters with @djokernole. Happy Easter. Who is the most flexible?” Rune captioned his post on Instagram.
