The 21-year-old Dane will make this third appearance in Rotterdam.
The 52nd edition of the tournament will be played from 1 to 9 February 2025, at Rotterdam Ahoy.
“Holger Rune has been competing at the top of the ATP rankings for two years. It’s easy to forget that he’s only 21 years old,” said tournament director Richard Krajicek. “Recently, he mentioned his ambition to return to the top 5 in 2025. It would be fantastic if the ABN AMRO Open plays a part in achieving that goal.”
The 13th-ranked Rune finished the 2024 season strong. Rune reached the semifinals in four of his last seven tournaments of 2024: Cincinnati, Tokyo, Basel and the Rolex Paris Masters.
Rune, who finished 2024 with a 45-23 record, was runner-up to Grigor Dimitrov in the Brisbane final last January. Rune owns four career titles and will open 2025 playing for his first title since winning the 2023 Munich championship.
