Holger Rune is assembling his coaching team to ace the game of tennis. Even though Boris Becker stepped in to fill Serena Williams‘ ex-coach, Mouratoglou’s shoes. But after the exit of Roger Federer‘s former coach, Severin Luthi, and Becker’s exit, a rumor has been going around regarding another Serena Williams coach, Rennae Stubbs, becoming a part of his coaching team.
A lot of rumors were going around asking about the connection between the Australian tennis coach and the 19-year-old Danish tennis player. Now, though, Stubbs has dispelled all the claims, refuting the idea that she coached Holger Rune.

She recently took to her Twitter account to share a specific poster that talked about her joining hands with Rune. However, at the same time, she shut down those rumors with a strong statement.
She wrote, “I have been sent this by MANY people asking “is this true?” No it’s not! I don’t know who put this out but you’re a bunch of 🤡 to do so with zero proof. My god!” Moreover, now it’s clear that the Australian coach will not be joining the Rune coaching team, putting all the rumors down.
