Did Boris Becker’s ‘Passport Limitations’ Cost him Holger Rune’s Coaching Job? German Legend’s Downside Detailed by Tennis Bigwigs

The tennis world went into a shocker recently when Boris Becker announced that he is stepping down from his coaching responsibilities. Having joined the team of Holger Rune back in October last year intending to help him reach the ATP finals. But recently, he decided to part ways with the Danish superstar which puts everyone in a shocker. While everyone was hoping to get to know the exact reason, a tennis bigwig came up with his own possibilities.

It is clearly known about the fact that Becker certainly has had some passport issues. Could this be one of the major reasons behind the separation between the two stars?

Could a passport issue be one of the reasons behind the split between Holger Rune and Boris Becker?

Boris Becker’s sudden departure from coaching young sensation Holger Rune has come to be the newest mystery in the tennis world. As the fans were expecting a lot from their recently built partnership, the reason for this separation became a major concern for the fans. While Boris Becker came ahead and revealed the reason for his split up, tennis analysts are pointing fingers at ‘passport limitations’ as another possible reason for the split.

In a recent analysis, a tennis expert tried to decode the analogy behind this unexpected separation, suggesting that his passport issues could be the one to think about in these situations. “I think it’s a very fair point. I think it’s gonna be a problem going forward for Boris. I don’t know what the situation here in the US is in terms of obviously the rules having got that record on now but the reality is for Boris that it is going to be a part of the problem for him if he does want to go coaching because there’s at least two majors where he is going to struggle to get to so that is going to limit people wanting to hire him,” said the tennis bigwig.

Thus, this could yet be another possibility behind the spilt-up with the Danish superstar. While Beceker suggested personal reasons to be the cause, the tennis bigwig came ahead with his own possibilities.

While talking about the same, there is no doubt that he has been in the limelight when it comes to his passport issues. Let’s take a look at what happened with Becker.

What is the passport saga surrounding Boris Becker?

Tennis legend Boris Becker once faced a financial mess. It was suggested that the star player had a $3.3m debt and was declared bankrupt. To repay, he claimed diplomatic immunity as the Central African Republic’s attache. However, officials from the CAR denied any knowledge of his diplomatic role, calling his passport a “clumsy fake” one that had stolen serial numbers.

The confusion then adds further to Becker’s woes as his prized possessions were auctioned in London. The amount gathered went away with the creditors. Thus, after this, his passport has been under some limelight as countries around the world have made an objection surrounding the same. This is one of the main reasons why he was unable to travel with Holger Rune for his Australian Open campaign.
