Best of Big Three: Holger Rune adds ex Federer coach Severin Luthi to ex Djokovic coach, Boris Becker on his team

Holger Rune is seen alongside Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as one of the players who will take the sport forward post the Big Three with only Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal remaining.

But he has added another cog to his team that like his other current coach has previously worked with one of the Big Three. That being Roger Federer's former coach, Severin Luthi.

Becker of course previously worked with Novak Djokovic, so he has added two cogs from two of the best of all time to aid him ahead of the 2024 season.

Luthi was welcomed alongside Boris in a group photo and caption as Rune wrote: "Very happy to welcome Severin to my team alongside Boris." The Swiss coach was involved with Federer for 15 years from 2007 until his 2022 retirement and is also currently the Swiss Davis Cup captain.

This comes after a successful few months after Rune parted ways with both Patrick Mouratoglou and then Lars Christensen who previously worked with him and became a sole coach before Boris Becker. The tennis legend worked with him on a trial basis before it was extended indefinitely into 2024.

"I am very excited to continue my partnership with @holgerrune2003 in 2024," Becker wrote on X, the platform formerly called Twitter, on Nov. 19. "We are building a team around Holger to bring out the best version of himself, on and off the court."
