Rune, who was defeated by Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon this year, came to his girlfriend’s defence when she was blamed for his poor performance last year, calling the criticisms ‘incredibly lame’

With the Paris Olympics in full swing, the world is abuzz with chatter about the talented athletes taking part in the historic event. And their supportive partners occasionally attract just as much attention – or even more, in some cases.

Caroline Donzella, the Dutch-Italian property agent and influencer from Monaco who is never seen without an impressive handbag, might just be the quintessential WAG. She is often spotted cheering on her current beau, 21-year-old Danish tennis player Holger Rune, from the stands. Rune has ranked as high as fourth worldwide in men’s singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), and just competed at Wimbledon earlier this month, where he was defeated by Novak Djokovic.
