The tennis fans had to let go of a huge pack of expectations as Boris Becker recently parted ways with Holger Rune. While the journey of Novak Djokovic‘s ex-coach with the young Dane didn’t last long enough to cause a big change, the unexpected separation left fans disappointed and with a widely aroused curiosity.

While everyone had a question about Rune’s next step, Serena Williams‘ former coach, Rennae Stubbs, recently made her way into the picture. Is she going to be the next addition to Rune’s coaching team?

Danish tennis star Holger Rune recently received a supportive gesture extended by Serena Williams’ ex-coach. As Boris Becker unexpectedly parted ways from the young Dane, the position of his mentor still remains vacant. In a tweet in which Rune was directly tagged, Serena Williams’ ex-coach expressed willingness to offer guidance as she wrote, “@holgerrune2003 I have some time up my sleeve.”

After less than five months of coaching, Becker pulled off from his position, having already achieved the initial goal of helping Rune make it to the 2023 Nitto ATP Finals. Although there were many more unchecked boxes of achievements that the fans created for the duo, the separation marked a cancellation for all of them.

While Rune’s team has been silent throughout the phase, they now have a tough task to accomplish. With Serena Williams’ former coach’s offer on the line, it still remains to be seen if they join hands following the offer or keep browsing for more.

Stubbs’ consistent support for Rune

This isn’t the first time when Rennae Stubbs presented support for Holger Rune. The legendary coach has been following the young tennis star’s journey throughout, offering advice whenever required. Back when Holger Rune faced the fans’ favorite Fabio Fognini in Rome, the Italian crowd went all against him as they dimmed his confidence by booing at him.

Soon after the incident, Rennae Stubbs made a post on X, mentioning how the act was irrelevant. “Disgraceful… I mean it’s normal when you argue or carry on when you’re in Italy playing an Italian, we have all been there. But this is disgraceful behavior. @holgerrune2003 doesn’t deserve that,” she mentioned. As the tennis coach has now come forward to him directly, it still remains to be seen if they join hands to work together.
