>> The big surprise is the fourth favorite to be eliminated in the first round of the US Open

Patrik Muratoglu is no longer Holger Rune’s coach

The cooperation between Rooney and Muratoglu began after Simona Halep (a former student of the Frenchman) was temporarily suspended for doping, and the Dane was also coached by Lars Christensen during this period.

Aneke Rune, the player’s mother, informed about the separation of Holger and Patrik.

“It just didn’t work. At this point, it is important for Holger to find the right team that he can have for a long time. He decided not to continue with Patrick” – A few runesin an interview for Jakob Klocher.

Holger Run’s mother wants the player to be coached by Lars Christensen

Anneke Rune spoke about the problems in Holger’s team after he lost to Robert Carballes Baen at the US Open, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. She hopes he will work again with Lars Christensen, a coach whose style suits her son better.

“I don’t know what will happen to the technical staff. It’s a bit strange. There were clashes of pride between the coaches. The team that worked at the end of the 2022 season is not working now.

Another conflict of pride? I do not know. The fact is that every time it is Holger who pays the price, and it is not fair. Holger himself defines his team. But there is no doubt that the team we had always achieved its goals.

I will encourage Holger and Lars (Christensen) to get back together when he is done with Clara Toson at the US Open.

I think a structured way of working suits Holger. It may not be very fashionable, but it proved to be extremely effective since Holger was a small child. A structure that he knows and in which he feels safe is important. So I think they should stick to it.” – A few runes for Ekstra Bladet.
