Mouratoglou explains coaching partnership with Rune: "Success for me is getting information"

Patrick Mouratoglou announced that he will be helping out Holger Rune until the end of the year as Halep recovers from surgery.

Simona Halep called time on her season early due to a nose surgery to allow her to breathe more easily. It's something she has been advised to do and she opted to do it this year and recover in time for next year. Due to no commitments as a coach Mouratoglou opted to help out Rune who came up as part of his Academy in the South of France.

Explaining what he will do for Rune, Mouratolgou said:

“Success, for me, is getting information. During this period of time, I want a super clean idea on what we have to do to bring Holger to the next step. Holger is at a moment of his career where he and his team are looking for an extra to go to the next level."

He added:

"The more you grow, the more the work to be done has to be precise. His goals are very high. He always said he wanted to be number one and it’s not just a word. He really can reach them."
