Holger Rune returns to his roots with coach Lars Christensen

At the beginning of the season there were many high expectations on Holger Rune, given the great ambitions of the young tennis player, but the Dane has definitely disappointed expectations, not making the leap in quality and falling behind his direct rivals Carlos Acaraz and Jannik Sinner.

Both the Italian and the Spaniard have won two Slams each, demonstrating that they have made the leap in quality, especially Jannik, who won the first two Majors of his career.

Rune is struggling to achieve his goals also due to the continuous change of coach, but also in the construction - never fully successful - of a solid team.

Precisely to recalibrate his ambitions, the young Dane has announced that he will once again rely on his historic coach Lars Christensen. The 21-year-old had previously relied on Patrick Mouratoglou, on two separate occasions, then Boris Becker, Severin Luhti, Benjamin Ebrahimzadeh Rezayeh and Kenneth Carlsen, before returning to Christensen.

"I'm happy to work with Lars again. We've known each other for so many years and have developed our tennis language together. Over the past month, I've trained a couple of times with Lars when I was in Denmark and, among other things, he had a really positive effect on my serve," Rune told sport.tv2.dk.

Mahut: "Holger Rune is not as strong as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz"

Nicolas Mahut, in the words reported by Tennis Infinity, focused on the future of the young Dane, expressing some interesting considerations.

"He will not be satisfied until he wins a Grand Slam tournament. I would not be surprised if one day he manages to win one. Obviously he is not as strong as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, but there will be more space for players than in the golden age of tennis with Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray. There will be opportunities for many of them and I think he will be one of those players who will be able to seize his chances," said the Frenchman.
