Despite a Short Stint, Holger Rune Makes a Massive Decision With Legendary Coach Boris Becker Following ATP Finals Exit

Danish tennis sensation, Holger Rune, has had a breakthrough tennis season. Earlier this year, he won the ATP title in Munich, Germany. Although this was his only title this year, the 20-year-old is a bright prospect for the future. He has had consistent results throughout the season and propelled to a career-high ranking of four. Hours ago, he decided on his partnership with Boris Becker.

Becker is the coach of Rune and the two started working just a few weeks ago. Thus, it was expected that Rune would take enough time before he decides what to do next. However, the 20-year-old is ready for his decision.

Rune’s mother and manager confirmed earlier this week that Becker will continue to coach her son. This comes just days after the two had commenced their partnership. Although Rune hadn’t started their partnership the way he would have liked, he came back with a bang and had two wonderful tournaments in Basel and Paris, where he reached the semifinals and the quarterfinals, respectively.

Rune’s mother and manager, Aneke Rune, announced that Becker will continue coaching Rune. While the partnership had started as an experiment, Rune has spoken highly about the tennis legend and has a lot to learn from Becker. Along with Becker, Kenneth Carlsen will also coach Rune.
