Holger Rune, the rising tennis sensation, is experiencing a positive turn in his career with the addition of Boris Becker to his coaching team. Rune recently put an end to a challenging streak where he lost nine out of ten matches, and the impact of his new coach is already shining through.

“It is never easy to reverse a negative spiral like the one I went through in the past months,” Rune acknowledged. He went on to explain how Boris Becker’s guidance and expertise have made a significant difference in his form. “I’ve come back from almost nowhere, from a period where I was losing all the time in the first round to a big match like this against Novak, close to my best level. We can already see the results of our work.” While Rune highlighted the positive influence of Becker’s guidance on his form, he didn’t give out any technicalities of his training. “I don’t want to say what it is, but it will be easy to see. I haven’t reached my best level yet, but I’m improving fast,” the 22-year-old added.
