"Really class act; no wonder Djokovic likes this kid" - Tennis fans react to Holger Rune rushing to Caroline Wozniacki's defense during Paris Masters press conference

Holger Rune showed his class during a press conference in Paris when he put right an incorrect question from a journalist. When one media representative stated that the 19-year-old was the first Danish player to be in the top 10, Rune was quick to correct the statement by stating that it was Caroline Wozniacki who achieved the feat and not him.Wozniacki was in fact the first ever Dane to reach the top 10. She was ranked the WTA World No. 1 for a total of 71 weeks.Tennis fans, who were already buzzing following the teenager's Paris Masters victory, were even more impressed with the youngster after his press conference.A fan praised Rune by saying:&quot;Holger got a question in his presser incorrectly saying &quot;you are the first Danish player in the top 10&quot; and Holger mentioned Wozniacki in his answer.
