"Goes through coaches faster than Emma Raducanu";" Holger Rune needs to get a grip" - Boris Becker quitting as Dane's coach in 3 months shocks fans
Boris Becker's split with Holger Rune after just three months into their partnership has sent shockwaves in the tennis fraternity.The German legend joined forces with Rune in October last year and the young Dane saw an immediate improvement in form with Becker by his side in the second half of the season.
A quarterfinal finish at the Paris Masters ensured that Rune finished the season ranked World No. 8, which in turn guaranteed him a debut seat at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin. Rune added another blockbuster name to his coaching box in the form of Severin Luthi, Roger Federer's former coach, in December.On Tuesday, February 6, Becker announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he was stepping down as Rune's coach.
"I would like to inform you that I will step down as the head coach of Holger Rune with immediate effect. We started this partnership with the initial goal to reach the ATP Finals end of last year but moving forward I realised that in order for this to be successful, I would need to be available for Holger much more than I can. Due to professional and private responsibilities, I can’t give Holger what he needs now. I wish him only the very best and I’m always going to be his n.1 fan. I truly appreciated this journey together. BB"
Fans on social media expressed their disappointment at the news and criticized Rune for the constant changes to his coaching team.
"Rune needs to get a grip, 4 coaches have left his team in 6 months," wrote a fan on X.
