Tennis Player Holger Rune Apparently Tried To Slide In Fellow Player Veronika Kudermetova's DMs, Who Responded Back "I'm Probably Too Old For You, And Married"

Slow news day so it's time to dig a little deep into drama I know you're curious about considering you clicked the title of this blog. Listen, everyone who knows tennis knows that it's arguably the biggest sport of inter-mingling and it may not even be close. The list of tennis relationships stems far and wide, and it makes sense when you think about all the travel on tour and how long the season is which is basically 24/7/365. They hardly have a real offseason, and the number of relationships we've seen between players, both at their peak and not, always seems to increase.

So how can you fault 22 year old peak ranking #4 Holger Rune, who is one of the tennis wonderboys who is posed to lead the sport for decades to come? And he took it with Veronika Kudermetova, who just won a major in doubles at Wimbledon a month ago? 

I don't know the method in which Holger Rune decided to message her, but if it was Instagram, then he's got a horrible radar because just a few photos in, you'll see she's happily married, to .. you guessed it, a former tennis player who now is her coach:

Tough beat for Rune who was just trying the old shot from the half court. You know what they say, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I'm sure he'll be just fine though considering he's a good looking fella and for the most part has been pretty good on the court:

Good luck to Holger and the rest of the fellas trying to find love out there.
