Holger Ron explains the situation when the mother left
Norway’s Casper Ruud won the quarter-final against Denmark’s Holger Ron.
– It’s time for him to grow up, says Casper Rudd at the post-match press conference.
“In the locker room after the match, he walked right up to me and yelled JAAAAA straight at me,” Holger Ron tells Ekstrabladet.
There was a lot of emotion on the field during the Scandinavian showdown at the French Open.
And it continued with the angry players and the fuss after that about Roland Garros in Paris.
– I don’t know Holger Ron personally, but I’ve seen on TV that it can be a lot of drama sometimes. He’s young and fresh, so he can be excused, but when you’re on a big stage, it might be time to mature, he says. Casper Road.
“You hardly looked at me”
As the two players were thanking each other for the match, he nodded at 19-year-old Dane.
– He hardly looked at me and then looked away and said nothing. I think tennis is a noble sport and you should be thankful for the match when the match is over. There was nothing to get from him, and therefore it was pointless to give something back, says Casper Rudd.
Holger Ron popped up during the match with loud voice and gestures.
– I don’t intend to stand here and say he’s behaving badly, but there’s a lot of yelling and yelling and a little bit of drama sometimes. If that’s how he wants to act, says Casper Rudd, and if that’s how he wants to appear that far, it’s up to him.
‘It’s very bad style’
The 23-year-old Norwegian looked calm on the field, but Holger Ron says he was shocked by what he went through after the match.
– In the locker room he went straight to me and yelled JAAAAAA straight at me. I was just thinking: What the hell are you doing? This is not how you do it. You can rejoice on the field as much as you want and be happy. I do it myself when I win. It’s bad style. Have some respect, says Holger Ron.
‘forced to stay away from him’
According to him, Casper Rudd’s performance was unsportsmanlike even during the match.
– It all started when I asked the judge to look for a trademark. It was too close to the line and I couldn’t see if it was inside or out. Then he says: Should you review every brand? This was the first time I had asked a judge to do so.
Then I told him not to talk to me. We were in the middle of a tennis match. It does not belong anywhere. When changing the page, keep saying “so you don’t talk to people.” Then I repeat that he should not talk to me.
I didn’t want to hug him anymore. He got Hi-Five so I had to stay away from him. He was unsportsmanlike during the match and talked to me over and over.
“Don’t be a mother”
It was also noted how Holge Ron appeared to yell at his mother to leave during the match.
“Leave, go… go away!” , Holger heard Ron screaming into his player’s box.
Mother Aniki left the stands but later returned.
– I didn’t tell my mother that she was leaving the stadium. I didn’t shout at her. Holger Ron tells Discovery+ that he was a completely different person, so that’s a mistake.
