Holger Rune Australian Open 2023: Odds, Next Match and Predictions

Holger Rune is one of the most exciting young players on the ATP Tour. The 19 year old turned heads at the Paris Masters last year, defeating players like Novak Djokovic, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Stefanos Tsitsipas en route to the title. Rune will participate in this year’s Australian Open, and we would do well to analyse his chances.

Australian Open 2023 Odds

These are the odds offered on Holger Rune to win the 2023 Australian Open.

The odds in this article were correct at the time of writing, and odds are subject to change. We recommend checking with the bookmaker before placing the bet.

Ahead of his fourth round clash with Andrey Rublev, Holger Rune can be backed at 8/1 to win the title. With these odds in mind, Rune is one of the outright favourites, with only three players being favoured above him. It’s also fair to point out that Holger Rune is the only player that’s yet to lose a set in this competition. On that note, let’s see how the 19 year old has fared so far.

Previous Rounds – Holger Rune Australian Open 2023

Holger Rune went up against Filip Krajinovic, Maxime Cressy and Ugo Humbert in the first three rounds of this competition. These players were no match for him, as he dispatched them all in straight sets.

Upcoming Match vs Rublev – Holger Rune Australian Open 2023

Up next, Holger Rune will take on Andrey Rublev in the round of 16. Rublev was one of Rune’s victims a couple of months ago, in his run to the Paris Masters title. However, the Russian has been in tip top form, and should cause a lot of troubles for Holger Rune. It’ll be interesting to see if the 19 year old can make it two wins in as many encounters with Rublev.

Holger Rune’s Form Prior to Australian Open 2023

It’s important to point out that Holger Rune didn’t have plenty of action before the 2023 Australian Open. Prior to this tournament, the Dane played just one match in 2023, where he crashed out of the first round at Adelaide. These are Rune’s last five results, including his matches at Paris Bercy last year.

  • Rune vs Nishioka – lost 1-2
  • Rune vs Djokovic – won 2-1
  • Rune vs Auger-Aliassime – won 2-0
  • Rune vs Alcaraz – won (rtd)
  • Rune vs Rublev – won 2-0

Holger Rune’s Performance At the Australian Open in the Past

Prior to the 2023 Australian Open, it’s worth noting that Holger Rune’s best result in this tournament came last year, when he lost to Soonwoo Kwon in the first round. To be fair, he’s only 19, and that was his first ever outing in the Australian Open.

Holger Rune Australian Open 2023 Prediction – Quarter-final or Champion

Looking at Holger Rune’s recent results we believe he has what it takes to reach the final, or even win the title. However, the 19 year old’s biggest obstacle is Novak Djokovic. If Rune defeats Rublev on Monday, he will likely face the nine-time Australian Open champion in the quarter-final. That said, Rune has beaten the former World number 1 before; and if he can do so, there’s no limit to how far he would go in this tournament.
