Recently tennis channel shared a clip on their official X (formerly Twitter) where fans spotted former world’s number-five Jimmy Arias, and Mark Petchy engaging in Rune’s coachless situation. Arias said- “I don’t really understand what’s going on here? He does have Kenneth Carlsen in his camp. So he still does have a coach at the moment but one of the weirdest thing about the whole scene is I don’t have enough time to commit to the project…..suddenly come out and say you have ever been in this situation where you are going to coach a player one of the first conversations should be having is how much time do you have to give. So I don’t know if everyone is trying to cover up for another underline reason which is what it feels like.” 

Mark Petchy also joined Arias and said- “You don’t need to say what it feels like that’s the thing you say when it’s something else. So its just go ahead and throw it right there. But what’s happening for me is Holger Rune wants to be the number one in the world. He wants it right now at the moment. And all of a sudden things have gotten little more difficult for him and he is searching for somebody to give him the answers. Never his faults its gotta be someone else’s fault and this is not generally Rune, this is all tennis players.”

Rune also revealed his feelings and said– “As you know, I have tried many coaching constellations over the past 12 months. It has not been easy to find the perfect match in the first attempt because I have worked with the same coach for 15 years- my entire tennis life. I have learned a lot and found out what is important for me to feel good and at the same time develop. I have big ambitions and big goals, and I need people around me who have the same visions and who I can trust to achieve my goals.”
