Yuki Bhambri, India's former top-100 singles pro who has shifted focus to doubles on the professional tour, was no match to the 19-year-old Dane in a 6-2, ...

And with India’s singles armoury deteriorating, the task was only made that much harder for the visitors this time. Rune was also having some fun now in front of his home fans, and thus came out a tweener that also won him a point and an in-curving, line-kissing forehand down-the-line winner on the run. That the Indian hasn't played a lot of singles lately—Bhambri only played a couple of qualifying matches at the ATP Tata Open Maharashtra this year—was evident in his sluggish on-court movement.

Watch: Holger Rune flashes fast feet with Davis Cup tweener (Tennis Magazine)

WATCH: Holger Rune announced himself with a scintillating end to the 2022 season, and his win over Novak Djokovic at the Paris Masters was our No.

After Montpellier, he's signed up the ATP 500 in Rotterdam, the ATP 250 in Marsielle, and the ATP 500 in Acapulco through February. But it was in his win over Bhambri where Rune shone brightest. If there were any ill effects from his heartbreaking loss to Andrey Rublev less than two weeks ago at the Australian Open, Holger Rune certainly wasn't showing it at Davis Cup.
