Holger Rune announced the resumption of cooperation with Patrik Muratoglu

Patrick Muratoglu and Holger Roon will collaborate again after the ATP No. 7 decided to no longer work with Boris Becker.

This was stated by the Danish player himself.

“I am delighted to work with Patrick again. I’ve had some of the biggest triumphs of my career with him and I can’t wait to aim for the next big titles together.

Looking ahead, we discussed well how our cooperation should develop and agreed on a solid structure that creates the best conditions for my work.

It is known that I am determined to win Grand Slam titles and reach the number one position in the world ranking. Achieving these goals requires the right team of coaches. Sometimes you have to try different things to find out what works and what doesn’t.

I’ve learned a lot over the past few months about what works for me and I believe Patrick will be the best fit to lead the team and help me achieve my goals.” he said, reports tennismajors.com.
