"I can’t give Holger what he needs now" - Boris Becker on stepping down as Holger Rune's coach

Boris Becker began coaching Holger Rune on a trial basis in October last season to get the Dane back into his rhythm. After seeing positive results in the following few tournaments, the German confirmed that he would continue coaching the 20-year-old going forward. The 56-year-old previously coached Novak Djokovic between 2013 and 2016.

Rune entered the Australian Open as the eighth seed and one of the favorites but crashed out in the second round after an inspired performance from Arthur Cazaux.

Following the defeat, Becker took to X (Formerly Twitter) to announce that he would be stepping down as the head coach of the Dane citing the reason to be the lack of availability of time on the German's hands.

"I would like to inform you that I will step down as the head coach of Holger Rune with immediate effect. We started this partnership with the initial goal to reach the ATP Finals end of last year but moving forward I realised that in order for this to be successful, I would need to be available for Holger much more than I can."

Becker continued by saying that he could not give the Dane what he currently required and appreciated his journey with Rune, wishing him the best for the future.

"Due to professional and private responsibilities, I can’t give Holger what he needs now. I wish him only the very best and I’m always going to be his n.1 fan. I truly appreciated this journey together. BB," Becker tweeted.
