Becker Joins Rune

[jimlosaltos]

Boris Becker confirms he is Holger Rune’s new coach.

“Holger is a diamond in the rough that needs polishing. I like his emotional outbursts. I have coached a player before, Novak Djokovic, who was sometimes not quite himself on the court. But that is allowed… Holger is 1 of the best young players in the world. My ambition is to find the best Holger Rune.”

Holger said he previously received advice from Boris when he was a kid.

Let’s see how this goes.

And the coaching duo gets mixed results to start.

Glass half full: Looks like Rune has his game back finally after spinal injury at Roland Garros. Trying to rival Alcaraz with the skill and volume of his drop shots.

Glass half empty: After a couple of wins, grounded by the FAA. Felix flying high, his forehand had too much pace even for the speedy Rune to track down enough times.
