"Anyone can make a mistake": Holger Rune's criticism of Patrick Mouratoglou revived after coaching return as coach responds

Tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou has defended the Denmark’s Holger
Rune after a surprising reunion.
The 20-year-old rehired Mouratoglou to replace the former
world number one Germany’s Boris Becker, despite sacking him some time back
from the same role.
The duo’s past relationship ended on a bad note as Rune went
on to state in a Netflix documentary that Mouratoglou was lazy during his time
as a head coach.
The 53-year-old, while responding to a user on a social media
platform, defended Rune and stated that anyone can make a mistake. "@cappolous
anyone can make a mistake. I forgive," he replied.
Earlier, Mouratoglou, in a post on the social media platform Instagram,
stated that he was excited to be working with the current world number seven.
"I am excited to start a new collaboration with Holger
Rune,” he wrote. “We have known each other since he was 13 years old and I
always believed in his potential. He has high goals and so do I for him. It is
the start of a new adventure. See you guys in Acapulco, Indian Wells and Miami.”
Rune’s 2024 season did not start as he would’ve liked. He first
suffered a second-round exit from the Australian Open after losing to Arthur Cazaux.
He lost in the semifinal of the Open Sud de France – Montpellier as he had to
retire in the second set. Rune’s and then crashed out of the ATP 500 event in Rotterdam
as he lost in the second round to Alexander Shevchenko.

- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
