Holger Rune was already training at the Mouratoglou Academy in the south of France. From now on, it is the boss himself who will take him under his wing. This Wednesday, Patrick Mouratoglou announced that he would be coaching the 19-year-old Dane, ranked 27th in the world, until the end of the season and during the winter break.
The French coach has been accompanying Simona Halep until now, but the two-time Grand Slam winner is out until the end of the season due to a nose operation that will keep her off the court until next year. “I don’t know how long the recovery will last but for now I only want to think about this and what is certain is that I won’t be able to participate in an official tournament this year,” she wrote on Instagram, posting a photo of herself lying on a bed with her nose bandaged.
Patrick Mouratoglou is not idle. Coach of Simona Halep since this season, the former coach of Serena Williams will now work with Holger Rune. On Twitter, the technician announced the news by explaining this decision. “While Simona Halep takes time to recover, she encouraged me to seek a new collaboration. Today I am pleased to announce that I am joining Holger Rune’s team. I’m really excited to start working with Holger. We have a special bond since the day we met, when he was only 13 years old,” he wrote.
