Although Holger Rune and coach Boris Becker appeared to be off to a good start, it appears the deck has turned. In an unexpected move, Boris Becker declared he was leaving Rune’s camp.
Officially, Becker will leave his role as the ATP star’s coach.
A stunning turn of circumstances sees the Danish celebrity and the German icon part ways. Becker stated, I can’t provide Holger what he needs right now due to work and private duties, in a post on X.
I will always be his biggest admirer and I wish him nothing but the best. I genuinely enjoyed our adventure together.
As far as Becker was concerned, the key reason was still his obligations outside of the coaching realm.
A major danger to both the new and old guard was posed by one of the biggest announcements of the previous year:
Boris Becker’s alliance with the young Danish gun. A legendary player and a young player together was practically a winning combination.
Sadly, that is not the case. Becker’s exit occurs for a variety of reasons.
The pair’s initial goal was to qualify for the ATP finals by the end of 2023. Nevertheless, Becker mostly believes that it did not occur since he was unable to completely contribute to Rune because of other professional obligations. Fans may recall that Boris Becker contributed to the commentary section as well.
It was clearly visible at the Brisbane International and the Australian Open, which were held prior to the Grand Slam.
Fans witnessed Rune struggle at times with his performances because Boris Becker was not playing for the starting lineup. Holger Rune advanced to the Brisbane International final but lost badly in the subsequent Australian Open.
Fans are still particularly disappointed by the situation. Both pros and fans thought that Holger Rune’s power on the court would be subdued by Becker’s expertise and coaching skills.
When rivals like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner begin to play to their full potential, it is painful to watch the alliance break up.
In the wake of this ostensibly cordial Boris Becker breakup, it appears that Rune’s coaching issues going forward remain unclear.
