In the absence of ice baths in Basel, Rune has resorted to the cryo chamber’s -210 degree temperatures for an interminable three minutes.
The chill appear to be working as Rune, who added Patrick Mouratoglou to his team earlier this month, heads into his fourth straight quarterfinal—putting the 19-year-old in contention for a Top 20 debut ahead of a second ATP Next Gen Finals berth.
All that tennis has put a premium on recovery, with Rune happily boasting of a strong nine-hour sleep before he plays an in-form Arthur Rinderknech.
“Batteries recharged ✔️ and on court for warm up,” he tweets with a steel flex emoji. “See you tonight for the QF.”
