Holger Rune’s parents are Aneke Rune, who is also his manager, and Anders Nødskov. He has an older sister, Alma, about four years his senior, who was the first in the family to play tennis. Are his parents divorced? No reliable outlet has reported a divorce – below is what is actually known about the family.
Holger Rune’s parents: Aneke Rune and Anders Nødskov
Holger grew up in Charlottenlund, north of Copenhagen, with his mother, father and sister. His name reflects both sides: he carries his mother’s surname Rune and his father’s surname Nødskov as a middle name – in full, Holger Vitus Nødskov Rune.
His parents invested heavily in his career. According to a 2019 profile by the Danish sports federation DIF, they sold their summer house and borrowed against their home to pay for his junior years, when travel, coaching and tournaments abroad cost a lot long before any prize money arrives. Today his mother is the visible part of the team, while his father stays in the background.
The whole family played a part: Alma brought him into the sport, his mother used her ballet background to help with his movement, and his parents funded the years of junior tournaments around the world. It paid off – in 2019 he won the French Open boys’ title and became junior world No. 1, and a year later he turned professional.
We only write about the family based on what they have said themselves and what established media have reported. Birth dates, addresses and private matters that have not been made public do not belong here.
Are Holger Rune’s parents divorced?
The short answer is no – at least nothing reliable suggests so. No established outlet has reported that Aneke Rune and Anders Nødskov have separated. On the contrary, Elle described Anders Nødskov as Aneke’s husband in April 2024, and the Danish site sport.dk answered the question directly with a no in July 2023, adding that the parents still lived together in the family home in Charlottenlund.
The question is still one of the most searched about the family in Denmark. A likely explanation is that his father is seen in the stands less often than his mother, who as his manager is the public face of the team. A few websites have claimed a divorce without any sources, and we do not repeat such claims. If the family or an established outlet says otherwise, we will update this page.
Holger Rune’s mother: Aneke Rune, manager and entrepreneur
Aneke Rune is the family member most often seen in the media. She is Holger’s manager and usually the one who speaks for the family when there is news about his career. According to Elle, she takes no salary for the manager role. Outside tennis she is a businesswoman who founded the water-cooler company Waterpoint. She is also a former ballet dancer, and according to DIF she used that background to give her son feedback on his movement on court.
During his Achilles rehab she gave the updates: in April 2026 she told TV 2 that the strength gap between his legs was down to six per cent, but that there was no date for his return.
How old is Holger Rune’s mother?
According to Elle, Aneke Rune was 52 in April 2024, so she was born around 1971 or 1972. Her exact birth date is not public, so we do not give a precise current age.
Holger Rune’s father: Anders Nødskov
Anders Nødskov keeps a very low profile and rarely gives interviews. He is seen at matches less often than Aneke, but according to Elle he handles the legal side and the contracts in Holger’s career. His profession has not been described by established media, and we do not repeat unconfirmed claims found on some websites.
Holger Rune’s sister Alma
Holger Rune’s sister is Alma Rune (also referred to as Alma Nødskov Rune), about four years older than him. She played tennis first, and her little brother followed her onto the court. According to the Danish magazine Billed-Bladet (2024) she works as a model, and Elle reported the same year that she had taken over the day-to-day running of the family company Waterpoint, studied at Copenhagen Business School and helps with the accounts for Holger’s business. Alma is the only sibling mentioned in the sources we have reviewed.
His mother’s role and the coaching changes
Because his mother is also his manager, the family has become part of the story whenever Rune has changed coach – and he has had many since 2022, including Patrick Mouratoglou in three spells, Boris Becker, Severin Lüthi and Kenneth Carlsen. Commentators have repeatedly discussed who makes the decisions in his team. When the partnership with Mouratoglou ended for the second time in August 2023, Aneke Rune spoke of "ego clashes" in the coaching team. Beyond statements like that, we do not repeat speculation.
