“Holger Rune just needs to learn how to play tennis better.. he’s lost a bit” – Serena Williams’ former coach Rennae Stubbs…

Serena Williams’ former coach, Rennae Stubbs, has offered a critical evaluation of Holger Rune’s current game, suggesting that despite the Danish player’s evident talent, he has room for significant improvement. Stubbs noted that Rune’s game plans are lacking, which has contributed to his recent struggles. After a strong showing in 2022, Rune’s performance has been inconsistent, marked by a series of losses and a drop in ATP ranking from a career-high No. 4 to No. 13 by the end of the year.

Stubbs further commented on Rune’s inability to establish a reliable strategy on the court, emphasizing the need for him to develop a consistent, go-to approach. Despite hiring experienced coaches like Boris Becker and Severin Luthi, and later reinstating Patrick Mouratoglou, Rune has yet to achieve the stability required for sustained success. As he prepares for his French Open campaign, beginning with a match against Daniel Evans, Rune faces the challenge of regaining his top form and proving his potential on a more consistent basis.
