Holger Rune’s 2023 season was filled with surprising twists and turns. As the young Danish tennis star set a goal to improve his lost form, he brought Novak Djokovic’s former coach, Boris Becker, into the team. Now that the partnership has gained immense popularity, fans and media have started to ask questions about Rune’s thoughts on Becker’s legal issues and whereabouts before joining his team.

Boris Becker, the tennis star who once stood by the side of Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic, had to face hard times because of being stuck in legal issues. While he recently made an entry as young Danish tennis star Holger Rune’s coach, it was quite obvious for Rune to face questions regarding his coach’s conviction period. However, the way Holger Rune tackled the questions acted as a surprise for the fans.

Holger Rune shares his thoughts on Boris Becker’s conviction history

Rune recently partnered up with legendary coach Boris Becker, intending to attain a subsequent position at the Paris Masters and the Nitto ATP Finals. In 2022, Boris Becker faced legal issues related to the Insolvency Act, which led him to a conviction along with being sentenced to a two-and-a-half-year span in prison. However, the German tennis coach managed to return to Germany after serving 8 months of his sentence. Now that he is banned from the UK for potentially up to 10 years, Holger Rune recently spoke at the UTS Grand Final in London.

Sharing his perspective on the matter, he mentioned, “I know many players that really like him. So do I. Whatever he’s doing off the court, I don’t need to have an opinion on that because I hired him to coach me, not to do anything else.”

Along with stating his ignorance and relevance of Boris Becker’s off-court activities, Holger Rune also showed faith in his coach as he added, “He’s a great guy. He’s a really good man. I think if people mistake him from that, it’s totally wrong, because he has a great heart and he’s a great coach.” As the legal backdrop still surrounds the German coach, Rune’s words seemed focused on the partnership’s potential and the coaching expertise that Becker brings to the young Dan’s side.
