‘From nowhere’: Holger Rune bounces back under new coach Boris Becker

I n September, two months after reaching the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, having earlier in the year successfully defended a title in Munich and reached the final of two Masters 1000 tournaments (Monte Carlo and Rome), Holger Rune, world No 6, was facing a player ranked more than 100 places below him, and yet a seventh consecutive defeat stared back.

When Thiago Monteiro won the third set of the Davis Cup rubber 6-2, Rune, who along with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner is one of the most exciting prospects in men’s tennis, looked physically and mentally spent. He went on to lose three of his next four matches to complete a dire run of late-summer form: 11 matches, 10 losses.

Though the ship was somewhat steadied at the Swiss Open in his first back-to-back wins since SW19, the signs remained ominous last week when Rune set about defending his biggest career title at the Paris Masters – the tour’s final prestigious event before the season-ending ATP Finals. But the 20-year-old’s quality performance, in which he battled in a tight, three-set quarter-final loss to the eventual champion, Novak Djokovic, marked a turning point for the youngster, and his resurgent showing in a thrilling encounter – a rematch of last year’s final – was a highlight of Paris-Bercy.

Another man shared the spotlight: Rune’s new coach, Boris Becker. The legendary Becker – six-times grand slam winner, broom-closet progeniture practitioner, former mainstay of BBC’s Wimbledon coverage – is relishing his own comeback after serving a “brutal” eight months in a UK prison for bankruptcy fraud. In Becker and Rune, two of the strongest and most chaotic personalities in tennis cohere, a double act of rascals.

Rune both was and wasn’t in the market for a new coach. The man who had sat fist-pumping courtside at the Paris Masters last year, Patrick Mouratoglou, departed the Rune camp after the player’s first-round US Open exit, amid talk from Rune’s mother, Aneke, of “ego clashes” between Mouratoglou and her son’s long-term mentor Lars Christensen.

Mouratoglou, perhaps defined as the opposite of a shrinking violet, has returned to support his previous employer, Simona Halep, who is fighting doping charges that Mouratoglou this week said he feels responsible for. Rune’s mother had expressed a preference for the more low-key but highly respected (and scandal-free) Christensen, who has been working with the family for 14 years.

Christensen has spent weeks rehabilitating Rune’s back, a recurring and painful bulging disc issue that copious amounts of Ibuprofen and tweaks to serving technique failed to fix. Along with the internal squabbles, the chronic injury seemed to be behind the catastrophic series of results. (Other fans, probably unfairly, blamed his budding relationship with a glamorous model girlfriend.)

But it’s the nature of sport that players have fallow periods. Before his true breakthrough at the end of last year, Rune went on a run of seven losses, which he managed to snap only by playing a lackadaisical Benoît Paire; his one win during this year’s dismal run was against Félix Auger-Aliassime, another young gun having a torrid time who has since managed to turn things around.

The most encouraging aspect of last week, perhaps more so than the wins and the freedom of movement, was the return of Rune’s fighting spirit: the frequent celebratory shake of the racket and gritted teeth after firing backhand down-the-line winners or closing the net with clever back-behind volleys; the creative flair that fans know the prodigy is capable of, but which had been lacking recently.

There was even a new look. As part of a Becker-mandated strategy to limit “things that interfered”, gone was Rune’s trusty backwards cap and set of chains. He took to the court in a funereal all-black ensemble, Johnny Cash in sneakers. (The cap, however, has since returned.) Djokovic, who worked with Becker through a highly successful 2013-2016, said he had spotted his former coach playing chess with his new charge – something Becker introduced in their own partnership to promote “focus and mental clarity”.

Holger Rune targets ATP Finals and Paris Masters with new coach Boris Becker: “It has been great working with Boris”

The 20-year-old Dane will be hoping to reclaim the Paris Masters this week to earn crucial ranking points ahead of the 2023 ATP Finals in Turin.

After a tough period with ten losses in 11 matches, Danish tennis prodigy Holger Rune got back on track at last week’s ATP 500 in Basel, where he reached the semi-finals.

It was the first tournament for Rune alongside six-time major champion Boris Becker as coach. The German will be working with the world No. 7 for the remainder of the season, including this week's Paris Masters where he defends the men's singles title.

“It's been great working so far with Boris, what we're working on is what you see on the court,” Rune told the ATP Podcast.

“There were a few adjustments that we made to be able to come back on track a little bit more. And I think that I was willing to do those small changes. I played some better tennis [in Basel] and I was fighting very well. Obviously didn't find my best level still, but I'm definitely building up more.”

The vibrant colors of the islands and their lush vegetation create a surreal and dreamy environment. The castles in Otaly are unlike any other. They are grand and majestic, with towering turrets and intricate architectural details.

Boris Becker on Rune: “Holger is a rough diamond”

Rune reached a career-high ATP Ranking of No. 4 in August. Becker, who last coached Novak Djokovic from 2013 to 2016 sees a lot of potential in the working relationships with the Dane.

"Holger is a rough diamond that needs polishing,” Becker said to Eurosport Germany. “The fact is that he is one of the best young players in the world. I like his emotional outbursts. I have coached a player before, Novak Djokovic, who was sometimes not quite himself on the court, but that is allowed.”

"Of course, it's all about attitude, even if it's so easy to say that. But it is the main reason why tennis matches are won or lost. I have some ideas on what can be improved. It starts with attitude, mentality, psyche - and I have a little idea about that. Hopefully I can help him to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin. That is the big goal and that is the task."

In his Paris Masters opener, sixth seed Rune will face Dominic Thiem of Austria.
