In a surprising turn of events, the dynamic coaching partnership between rising tennis star Holger Rune and famed coach Patrick Mouratoglou has come to an end. The announcement was made by Holger Rune himself, following his recent social media posts documenting his recovery from injury.
The world no. 17, Holger Rune, revealed that he and Patrick Mouratoglou have decided to part ways after their third collaboration. Moving forward, Kenneth Carlsen will be the sole coach guiding Holger in his tennis journey.
The latest chapter in Holger and Patrick’s coaching relationship began in February, resulting in Holger achieving impressive results including reaching two Masters 1000 quarter-finals. Despite this success, Holger is eager for even more significant accomplishments as he looks to bounce back from his recent setback, which saw him retire in Hamburg due to a wrist injury and miss out on competing in the Olympic Games.
The history between Holger Rune and Patrick Mouratoglou dates back seven years, with Holger training at the prestigious Mouratoglou Academy in France. The duo previously worked together with a brief hiatus between October 2022 and August 2023. During their time together, Holger clinched his first Masters 1000 title in Paris in 2022, defeating the likes of Novak Djokovic to make a mark on the tennis world.
Holger’s prowess on clay and grass courts was evident last year, with impressive runs to the finals in Monte Carlo and Rome, in addition to quarter-final appearances at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. It is clear that Holger Rune’s talent and potential are undeniable, and with a new coaching direction, the sky is the limit for this young tennis prodigy.
