'I have a husband': Veronika Kudermetova's bold reply to Holger Rune's private message fuels gossip across tennis world
Holger Rune may be outstanding on the tennis court, but away from it things didn't go exactly as he desired. According to reports, the 22-year-old Danish tennis player sent a letter to Veronika Kudermetova, a 28-year-old Russian tennis star. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Kudermetova responded and made it clear she is married; she did not just dismiss it. Recently, Kudermetova revealed what had occurred during a podcast, where the clumsy tale surfaced. As this off-court incident developed into a viral subject at the National Bank Open, fans and observers were quick to react. Veronika Kudermetova says she told Holger Rune she's married after his message Veronika Kudermetova spoke at a podcast supported by another Russian tennis player, Elena Vesnina. Kudermetova noted in the episode that Holger Rune had sent her just now. The talk was short. 'Rune recently texted me,' Kudermetova said on the podcast, which was covered by the UK outlet Express. 'I told him, 'Boy, I'm probably too old for you. If you looked at my Instagram, you'd see I have a husband.'' After she replied, Rune quickly ended the chat. 'He replied, 'Oh, sorry.' Since then, he doesn't even say hello to me anymore,' Kudermetova added with a laugh. Beginning in 2017, Kudermetova has been married to her trainer, Sergey Demekhine. From Russia as well, Sergey Demekhine, 41, formerly a professional tennis player. Most recently at Wimbledon's Champions Dinner in July 2025, Kudermetova's Instagram often has the pair together.

The off-the-court drama was raised during Kudermetova's singles match on Thursday, July 31, 2025 with Coco Gauff.

McLaren's Rise Faster Than Ferrari's Schumacher Era: Andrea Stella's Bold Claim
Last Updated: McLaren leads the constructors' championship by 268 points, while both their drivers, Piastri and Norris, are vying for the drivers' title. McLaren's recent transformation has been so rapid and effective that its current trajectory may even outpace the legendary Ferrari era under Michael Schumacher, according to team principal Andrea Stella. Speaking on Friday ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Stella reflected on his past with Ferrari and expressed astonishment at the scale and speed of McLaren's resurgence. The Italian, who served as an engineer at Ferrari during Schumacher's dominance in the early 2000s, now leads a McLaren team that is dominating both the drivers' and constructors' championships in 2025. Stella, who joined McLaren in 2015 after more than a decade at Ferrari, emphasized that drawing direct comparisons between eras and teams can be tricky, particularly given his different roles in each organization. However, he admitted that McLaren's current rate of development stands out. 'It's always difficult to compare across seasons," Stella said. 'In this case, we are comparing across teams, and even myself, I was in a very different role, so my field of view, my perspective was very different." During Schumacher's golden run from 2000 to 2004, Ferrari secured five consecutive drivers' titles and six consecutive constructors' championships, with the 2004 season being especially dominant—15 wins from 18 races. McLaren's Dominance in 2025 In stark contrast to their recent struggles, McLaren has surged to the front of the grid in 2025. After finishing fifth in 2022 and fourth in 2023, the team has won 10 of the first 13 races this season and holds a commanding 268-point lead over second-placed Ferrari in the constructors' standings. Their driver duo—Oscar Piastri of Australia and Britain's Lando Norris—are currently locked in a close fight for the drivers' title. Piastri leads Norris by 16 points, while Max Verstappen, the reigning champion and Red Bull ace, trails by a distant 81 points in third place. Despite the commanding lead and consistent performance from his drivers, Stella is unwilling to label the championship battle as a closed contest. 'Definitely not," Stella said when asked about whether Verstappen was out of the Championship race. 'I only agree with mathematics. So once mathematics tells us that's the case, then I'll change my answer." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Novak Djokovic Invests In Le Mans; Becomes Part-Owner Of Ligue 2 Club
In a statement released by the club, Le Mans praised Djokovic's reputation as a competitor with exceptional resilience, calling him: 'The most successful player in history, whose mental strength and unique approach will bring considerable added value." Similarly, the involvement of Massa and Magnussen was framed as a strategic move to foster cross-sport branding opportunities between football and motorsport: 'Massa (15 seasons in Formula 1) and Magnussen (10 seasons), who will help create a bridge between football and motorsport – a distinctive strength of the Le Mans brand," the club noted. Le Mans FC is set to kick off its 2024–25 Ligue 2 campaign on August 9, away against En Avant Guingamp. Djokovic's latest off-court venture comes as he continues to battle through a challenging 2024 season on the tennis circuit. After losing in straight sets to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semifinals last month (6–3, 6–3, 6–4), the 38-year-old Serbian made it clear that his journey at the All England Club is far from over. 'I'm not planning to finish my Wimbledon career today," Djokovic said after the match. 'I'm planning to come back definitely — at least one more time." His defeat ended his quest to equal Roger Federer's record of eight Wimbledon titles and to claim a historic 25th Grand Slam title, which would be an all-time record in men's tennis.
