A short but intense collaboration that didn’t end in the best way – both were looking for something different for their careers – and, perhaps, a bit of rust despite a cordial relationship that continues over time.
A sort of social diatribe characterized the afternoon of Holger Rune e Boris Becker. The former world number one probably noticed a certain distance between Patrick Mouratoglou and the Danish tennis player on the eve of Wimbledon.
On his Twitter account he decided to ask his followers and industry insiders a question: “Quick question: I saw Mouratoglou in London but not with Rune at Wimbledon… are they still working together?” .

Rune, considering the messages he still exchanges privately with Becker, was surprised that the former German player did not ask him personally what was happening but used Twitter.
“It’s very strange that you don’t ask me this question directly while we write to each other on other topics. The answer to your question is yes, we work together and run the tournaments as planned,” Rune replied, responding directly to the tweet in question.
Rune will make his Championships debut next Tuesday and face Soonwoo Kwon in the first round.
