EXCITING DOUBLE AT ENERGI DANMARK CHAMPIONS BATTLE 2023
The Danish Davis Cup team is ready for an exciting pre-match on 24th of May in Royal Arena when the Danish tennis comet Holger Rune and Australian Nick Kyrgios meet each other at Energi Danmark Champions Battle 2023.
Prior to the main match between the two world stars, the many attending tennis fans can experience four of Denmark’s best tennis players; Christian Sigsgaard, Johannes Ingildsen, August Holmgren and Davis Cup captain and former Wimbledon winner Frederik Lochte Nielsen.
The Danish Davis Cup team has had an amazing start to 2023, when they in the beginning of February secured a place at the World Cup I. World Cup I is the second highest level in the Davis Cup. Denmark will meet Brazil on home soil later in the year.
It’s four experienced players who will be playing at Energi Danmark Champions Battle; August Holmgren is 24 years old and plays for Gentofte Tennis Club. He has played five Davis Cup matches and is undefeated. Christian Sigsgaard is 25 years old, and he is likewise playing for Gentofte Tennis Club. He is the player on the team with the most Davis Cup experience as he has represented Denmark seven times. Johannes Ingildsen is 25 years old and is playing for KB. In February he had the pleasure of playing double with Holger Rune, a match the two of them won in style.
The fourth player, Frederik Lochte Nielsen is one whom most Danes are familiar with as he is the Danish tennis player who has won most double matches ever. In 2012 he won the Wimbledon Grand Slam in men’s double. In January 2022, Lochte announced his retirement from professional tennis. In April the same year he was celebrated for his fantastic career, when he played a show match in Royal Arena. He played a double match against the showman Mansour Bahrami, it was a pre-match to Caroline Wozniacki’s farewell match with Angelique Kerber, The Final One. Lochte had an amazing experience with the thousands of spectators, and he can’t wait to play in Royal Arena once again. He says:
“I had an incredible experience last time I played a double match in Royal Arena. It was fantastic to experience the atmosphere and support from the many tennis fans and that’s the reason why I’m very excited to be playing there again. The fact that it’s the pre-match to Holger vs Kyrgios, their first ever match against each other, is just amazing.”
Also Founder of f Sports Group, Mads H. Frederiksen is very excited about having the Danish Davis Cup team playing the pre-match. He says:
“We had the pleasure of watching Lochte, Christian and Johannes play the double match last year and of course we are happy that they want to participate again. Last time they delivered world-class tennis, which is why I know that people can expect to be entertained throughout the whole evening.”
