Denmark’s young tennis star
Holger Rune has revealed how the
former world number one
Boris Becker's involvement is helping him in improving
his mentality.
The 20-year-old has had a tough outing in 2023 but ended
the year on a bit of a high with some impressive performances. His results
significantly improved after the inclusion of the 56-year-old in his coaching
staff.
Rune was recently quoted in a report where in detailed he
revealed the impact of working with Becker which according to him is helping in
improving the mentality and technical aspect of his game.
"I think he is very exciting,” said the current world
number eight. “I think he is bringing a lot of mentality and a few technical
things. But more mentality like how you can handle the big moments better and
how to save your energy in the matches, to do things mentally better."
"He is a very good man, he already made a plan with my
fitness coach and my analyst and what we needed to improve, and he’s extremely
involved already. We had this test period during the tournaments.”
Becker's is one of the greatest tennis player to have come out
of Germany. He ended up winning six Grand Slam titles in his career. His most
successful competition was Wimbledon where he lifted the title three times.
