"I don’t need to have an opinion on that": Judging Boris Becker on conviction isn't fair and 'totally wrong' admits Holger Rune

Denmark’s tennis star Holger Rune admits that judging his coach Boris Becker on conviction will be ‘totally wrong’.
The 56-year-old was charged with four offences including hiding assets. He was convicted of two and a half years in prison but was deported to his home country. He was subsequently banned from entering the United Kingdom for a considerable period.
Rune was recently quoted in a report where he stated that conviction does not bother him and that according to him, Becker is a ‘really good man’.
“I know many players that really like him,” he said. “So do I. Whatever he’s doing off the court, I don’t need to have an opinion on that because I hired him to coach me, not to do anything else. He’s a great guy. He’s a really good man. I think if people mistake him from that, it’s totally wrong, because he has a great heart and he’s a great coach.”
“He helped me a lot during [the end of the season] because I had the tough middle of the season with everything so it was needed that he came and we start improving again, and he’s a great guy, a great coach.
“We did some good work, proper training, and I’m excited for the future. It’s more mental and tactical than technical, I would say. Of course, he has a few tips especially on the serve. He had a great serve himself but it’s a lot of psychological.”
