Now he’s officially back in the tennis business!
Boris Becker (55) has been Holger Rune’s (20) coach since October. With the six-time Grand Slam champion as his coach, the Dane had won five games and lost two games before the ATP Finals in Turin.

The eighth in the world rankings also did well in the finals and only had to admit defeat to the final participants Novak Djokovic (36) and Jannik Sinner (22) in three sets. He also won against Stefanos Tsitsipas (25), as the Greek had to give up early.
Things are going well for Rune under Becker!
Apparently this is also due to the similarities between the two. Becker on “L’Équipe”: “I like strong personalities. I like Holger’s aggressiveness. I was an aggressive player myself. I also like the way he expresses himself on the pitch, he’s a real fighter, a hothead.”

So it’s no wonder that the tennis legend and the super talent will continue their collaboration next year. Becker announced this on Sunday afternoon on the social media platform “X” (formerly Twitter).
Becker: “I am very excited about continuing my partnership with Holger Rune in 2024. We are building a team around Holger to get the best out of him, on and off the pitch.”

Next year, Rune wants to record their first Grand Slam success with Becker. So far he has only reached the quarter-finals in the four top tournaments. Last year he failed in the round of the last eight at the French Open and Wimbledon.
Will the big rune breakthrough come with Boris at your side?
The tennis gem said about Becker to “Ekstra Bladet”: “He takes care of me and protects me above all. It’s nice to have him by my side when I’m doing things off the field.”
Sounds like a good symbiosis…
