In his official Instagram account’s story, Rune opened up about his feelings to the fans. Rune said- “As you know, I have tried many coaching constellations over the past 12 months. It has not been easy to find the perfect match in the first attempt because I have worked with the same coach for 15 years- my entire tennis life. I have learned a lot and found out what is important for me to feel good and at the same time develop. I have big ambitions and big goals, and I need people around me who have the same visions and who I can trust to achieve my goals.”

Rune’s statement clearly expressed that this Danish tennis star is moving through a stressful time. Rune further added by saying-“I need people who know me- who can be there all the time. That gives me peace and joy in a world that changes every single week.”
