"I have some time up my sleeve": Rennae Stubbs throws her name into the mix for Holger Rune's next coach
ATPWednesday, 07 February 2024 at 23:00
Rennae
Stubbs shared her thoughts on the separation of Holger Rune and Boris Becker,
expressing her availability to coach the young talent. The current tennis
commentator brings previous coaching experiences with the 23-times Grand Slam
champion Serena Williams and former world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova.
On Tuesday,
February 6, Rune and Becker announced their parting after four months of
collaboration, marking another setback for the Danish player, who has struggled
to establish a stable coaching relationship. Stubbs' offer to step in as a
coach could provide Rune with an opportunity to regroup and enhance his skills
on the court.
Holger Rune reflects on coaching changes
Before
teaming up with Boris Becker, Holger Rune also collaborated with Patrick
Mouratoglou, the former coach of Simona Halep and Serena Williams, among
others. However, their partnership lasted only 10 months, ending after Rune's
early exit from the US Open during a challenging period for the 20-year-old
player.
This time,
Rune's association with Becker lasted merely four months, even though the
German coach had made a positive impact in improving Rune's tough 2023 season
under Mouratoglou. Following their split, Rune shared his thoughts on the
separation through an Instagram post:
"As
you know, I have tried many coaching constellations over the past 12
months," he said. "It has not been easy to find the perfect match in
the first attempt. I have worked with the same coach for 15 years my entire
tennis life."
"I
have learned a lot and found out what is important for me to feel good and at
the same time develop. I have big ambitions and big goals, and I need people
around me who have the same visions and who I can trust to achieve my
goals," the World No. 7 said.

Stubbs extended her coaching services to Holger Rune through social media. She
tagged Holger Rune in a post and expressed her availability to work with him
again:
"@holgerrune2003
I have some time up my sleeve," Stubbs wrote.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
- And this is such a shock to WTA?? How many times are they (WTA & ATP) going to keep stepping in their own s*** ???mandoist15-09-2024
