I would like to inform you that I will step down as the head coach of Holger Rune with immediate effect. We started this partnership with the initial goal to reach the ATP Finals end of last year but moving forward I realised that in order for this to be successful, I would need…
"Cover up for an underlying reason": Mark Petchey finds sudden Holger Rune Becker and Luthi split puzzling
ATPThursday, 08 February 2024 at 14:00
Holger Rune's coaching splits as of late may have more to them believes Mark Petchey who sees the fact that both Boris Becker and Severin Luthi have used time as the deciding factor to break off the partnerships as 'weird' and 'puzzling' and that it could be a cover-up for another reason.
Rune split with Severin Luthi, who is a former coach of Roger Federer first of all after the Australian Open and Boris Becker followed with immediate effect this past week. Both of which owed time to their decision with Rune himself admitting that he needs someone there all the time which Becker and Luthi weren't willing to do and that he would announce a new team shortly.
"He's losing coaches quicker than I am losing hair follicles (laughing). I mean I don't really understand what's going on here. He does have Kenneth Carlson still in his in his camp, so he still does have a coach at the moment," he said to Tennis Channel.
"But one of the weirdest things about the whole thing is that I don't have enough time to commit to the project, which is what Severin and Boris have both suddenly come out and said."
"If you've ever been in this situation where you've gone to coach a player, one of the first conversations you have is how much time you have to give, so I don't know if everyone's trying to cover up for another underlying reason which is what it feels like."
"Severin loved Boris as a player that was one of his favorite players. So it's seemed like the perfect fit because everyone was going to get on because that's also, you know what you're looking to try and guard against is a clash of personalities. Honestly, you can't have two better people, really, in terms of an IQ for tennis. Where is he going to go from here?"
