"He has written to me a few times": Boris Becker involvement explained by Holger Rune, gave Dane 'tips and tricks'
ColumnThursday, 19 October 2023 at 06:30
Denmark’s tennis star Holger Rune has revealed the reason behind the involvement of the former world number one Boris Becker in his coaching team.
The 20-year-old has recently taken part in the Stockholm Open where, during the practice sessions, Boris was sitting in the arena.
When asked about it, Rune explained the reason behind the presence of the six-time Grand Slam winner by stating: “It was a really good week of training. I have known Boris for a long time. He follows tennis a lot in general and he has written to me a few times.
“Also when I was a little younger, he gave me some tips and tricks. There he showed that he supports me. You can feel it. That’s really a big difference.
“He can feel what I’m feeling. He can’t just say what he thinks I’m feeling, but he can feel it because he’s been in those situations himself. So it’s a different sensation and feeling. It is definitely a good thing to have someone who has tried it himself.”
That, however, did not help Rune in overturning his poor form as he lost the opening round encounter to Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-2.
It was Rune’s consecutive defeat in an ATP event as he also lost the round of 64 tie at the Shanghai Masters to America’s Brandon Nakashima with a score of 6-0, 6-2.
