Rennae Stubbs’s statement expressed a confusing opinion about Rune’s choice to return to his former coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. This partnership helped Rune in 2022 when he won the Paris Masters title. At that tournament, Rune defeated Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic. However, after February 2023, Rune had a horrible season, as he had to exit the US Open in the first round. Stubbs questioned Rune’s decision to get back to the same partnership on that basis.
What launched the rumors?
After Becker’s official announcement of resigning as Rune’s head coach, Stubbs came forward and jokingly tweeted that she would be happy to lend her advice to the Danish player. Stubbs said on X: “@holgerrune2003 I have some time up my sleeve..” This was when the rumor started that Stubbs might be Rune’s next head coach after Becker’s resignation. One reliable tennis broadcasting source also questioned the topic. However, refuting the rumors, Studds posted: “I have been sent this by MANY people asking “is this true?” No it’s not! I don’t know who put this out but you’re a bunch of 🤡 to do so with zero proof. My god!”
