In one year, Holger Rune has already gone through three different coaches, with Boris Becker being the last to jump ship. The German blames their separation on a lack of time, leaving the Dane alone after only four months since their union. What’s wrong with Rune?
Just a few hours ago the news broke that no one expected in the world of tennis. And it is that Holger Rune y Boris Becker They separate their paths after four months. Becker himself was the one who broke the news through his social networks, creating an important stir around the details of this breakup: lack of time. “I would like to inform you that I will be stepping down as head coach of Holger Rune with immediate effect. We started this partnership with the initial goal of reaching the ATP Finals at the end of last year, but in the future I realized that for this to be successful would need to be available to Holger much more than I can. Due to professional and private responsibilities I am now unable to give Holger what he needs. I wish him the best and will always be his number one fan. I really appreciated this journey together,” the German wrote on his social networks.
The two began working together in October 2023, just 4 months before they agreed to separate. In principle, the tandem had gotten together with the objective of preparing the ATP Finals, although in that tournament Rune could not show his best level. Since then, everything seemed to indicate that their work together was gradually going to bear fruit due to the way in which they both communicated it to the media. They seemed excited about the project and were aiming for 2024 with high hopes, because for Becker, Rune “It’s a rough diamond that needs to be polished.”. However, in recent days the reality is that the former Grand Slam champion has not made an appearance on the Dane’s bench. In it Open the Australia There was no sign of Becker with the Rune team, who was eliminated in the second round. Even so, the German confessed that, despite not having traveled with his pupil, they were in contact every day. Finally, it is confirmed that we will not see Boris on his bench again.
With this break, Rune now has up to three different coaches in one year. He first joined Patrick Mouratoglou, with whom he broke up in April 2023. Later, in October, he very excitedly announced his journey with Becker so far. And this vase of cold water arrives just a week after Severin Luthi, Roger Federer’s former coach, also parted ways with Rune after announcing in December that they would work hand in hand. It seems that the reasons why the last two technicians will not be part of the Dane’s career are the same: lack of time. “The timing with Severin was not adequate. It would be very few weeks for him to cover the continuity that Holger needs“said Aneke, mother and manager of the 20-year-old at the time.
Rune is left alone
In this way, Rune has been left without a main coach to guide him in his journey in 2024. He is now recovering from an untimely arm injury that forced him to withdraw from the ATP semi-finals in Montpellier, where Kenneth Carlsen took over as head coach. Thus, apart from that recovery, he will need someone to work hand in hand with to redirect his career that is not going through its best moment. This dance between coaches shows that things with him or with his surroundings are not working and something is happening that we are not finding out about. What’s happening with Holger?
