"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.
