Holger Rune is dumped by his trainer Boris Becker after more or less four months of collaboration. The Dane is in his third change of coach in a single year and perhaps the fact of parting ways with Severin Luthi and the incorporation of Kenneth Carlsen in his place had an impact on the decision of the German tennis legend.

Boris Becker declared that the reasons which pushed him to give up his position as first coach of Rune was the lack of time: ” I would like to inform you that I will be leaving my position as head coach of Holger Rune with immediate effect.

We started this partnership with the initial goal of reaching the ATP Finals late last year, but I realized that for this to be successful I would have to be much more available to Holger than I can be. be.

Due to my professional and private responsibilities, I cannot give Holger what he needs right now. I wish him the best and I will always be his number one fan. I really enjoyed this journey together,” said Becker.

The consequences on Rune?

The Dane has already been going through a very, very mediocre period for almost a year and things do not seem to be encouraging regarding his future.

After dismissing one after the other Patrick Mouratoglou a legendary coach and Severin Luthi who guided Roger Federer in his early days, Rune is all alone on the circuit and he will absolutely have to find a coach to guide him this season and get him back on track, otherwise he risks falling in the rankings and being forgotten.
