After just four months it’s over again: Boris Becker is no longer the coach of young tennis star Holger Rune. Becker announced via
Becker went on to explain that he realized that he “needed to be much more available” to Rune than he was currently able to be. “Due to professional and private reasons, I cannot give Holger what he needs at the moment,” wrote the three-time Wimbledon winner.
Both were still at the ATP finals
Becker only took over the job as coach from Rune in October of last year and led the 20-year-old to the ATP finals in Turin. The 56-year-old was absent from the Australian Open at the beginning of this year because he was working as a TV expert for Eurosport. In Melbourne, Rune was looked after by long-time Roger Federer coach Severin Lüthi, from whom the Dane has since separated.
Before the short interlude with Rune, Becker worked very successfully as Novak Djokovic’s coach from 2013 to 2016. He then worked for the German Tennis Association.
