Boris Becker’s sudden departure from coaching young sensation Holger Rune has come to be the newest mystery in the tennis world. As the fans were expecting a lot from their recently built partnership, the reason for this separation became a major concern for the fans. While Boris Becker came ahead and revealed the reason for his split up, tennis analysts are pointing fingers at ‘passport limitations’ as another possible reason for the split.
In a recent analysis, a tennis expert tried to decode the analogy behind this unexpected separation, suggesting that his passport issues could be the one to think about in these situations. “I think it’s a very fair point. I think it’s gonna be a problem going forward for Boris. I don’t know what the situation here in the US is in terms of obviously the rules having got that record on now but the reality is for Boris that it is going to be a part of the problem for him if he does want to go coaching because there’s at least two majors where he is going to struggle to get to so that is going to limit people wanting to hire him,” said the tennis bigwig.

To repay, he claimed diplomatic immunity as the Central African Republic’s attache. However, officials from the CAR denied any knowledge of his diplomatic role, calling his passport a “clumsy fake” one that had stolen serial numbers.

The confusion then adds further to Becker’s woes as his prized possessions were auctioned in London. The amount gathered went away with the creditors.
