Holger Rune is assembling his coaching team to ace the game of tennis. Even though Boris Becker stepped in to fill Serena Williams‘ ex-coach, Mouratoglou’s shoes. But after the exit of Roger Federer‘s former coach, Severin Luthi, and Becker’s exit, a rumor has been going around regarding another Serena Williams coach, Rennae Stubbs, becoming a part of his coaching team.

A lot of rumors were going around asking about the connection between the Australian tennis coach and the 19-year-old Danish tennis player. Now, though, Stubbs has dispelled all the claims, refuting the idea that she coached Holger Rune.

However, do you know that just after the German tennis coach announced his split on Twitter, addressing professional and private responsibilities as the reason behind the decision, Stubbs reached out to the Danish tennis player?

When Stubbs approached Holger Rune

When Becker announced his resignation as coach a few days prior, he included an official message stating that he had decided to part ways with Rune. Shortly afterward, the 19-year-old received a message on Twitter from Serena Williams’ former coach offering her coaching experience.
