Holger Rune recently found his way out of the tournament in Madrid. After defeating Mariano Navone in an intense three-setter battle, the young Dane earned a position against Tallon Griekspoor in which he failed to show the dominance required and therefore had to go off in disappointment. However, besides the defeat, the fans focused on the moment when he was seen complaining about his coach Patrick Mouratoglou in frustration.

Soon after his opponent from the Netherlands ended his run for the Madrid Open title, Rune grabbed a seat and started to extend the blame on his newly appointed coach Patrick Mouratoglou. A glimpse of this surfaced on social media post-defeat and therefore, the fans came forward to express their thoughts on the incident.

A fan mentioned the fact that he frequently makes up things after facing defeat. Deducing a conclusion from his act, the comment said, “he’s incompetent, he makes some silly moves and then he fights with the coach.”

Another fan, throwing a sarcastic prediction that Mouratoglou would now start looking for a new apprentice, wrote, “Mouratoglou turning on open to work feature on his LinkedIn.”

Holger Rune chose to play in a yellow t-shirt as his outfit for the tournament in Madrid. Making fun of him considering his appearance, a fan wrote, “lemon got angry”.

“What a firecracker this macho guy is,” wrote a fan, highlighting the fact that he is always complaining about miscellaneous things.

A fan opened the betting polls on how long will it take for Rune to end his partnership with his new coach. “When does he throw Patrick out on the street again?” the comment said.

With these and several other comments down the line, the fans used the moment to make fun of the bonding between the young Dane and his newly appointed coach. As he finds himself out of the tournament in Madrid, it remains to be seen if he will be able to cope with the upcoming events.

Mouratoglou’s uneven chemistry with Holger Rune

This isn’t the first time when fans noticed an uneven state of the bond between Holger Rune and Patrick Mouratoglou. Back when the renowned coach announced that he was joining hands with the Danish star, he presented a long statement on social media to announce the collaboration.

Soon after the post started to garner attention on Instagram, a fan came forward to question Serena Williams‘ former coach with his doubts. “Talking bad on Netflix, saying he (patrick) is lazy and just sitting around and now workin together again – dont get that?” a fan commented, reminding Mouratoglou of the time when Rune insulted him.

Moving ahead of the incident, Mouratoglou managed to waive off the past statement, saying, “anyone can make a mistake. I forgive.” Although the query was answered with a calm response, it doesn’t seem like everything is cool enough between the two yet.
