With Becker his netgame is gonna get better (you already saw that on the ATP Finals) and he will grow a lot in 2024 in my opinion. And he is gonna mature through that as well for sure, looking forward to his evolution!

Could you make a video about Simona Halep? I think her story needs to be told and I would be very curious to see your opinion on the whole situation. Love your vids btw, keep it going!

To me, it all comes down to one single key: patience. He tends to rush everything. That's good when you are in the zone. But when you aren't, you need patience.

Rune has improved in all of these aspects immensely in the past year. He is way more mature now, is definitely working on his physical issues, and has the mentality of a beast. I think with the new team he has built in the last months, he will rise. Wishing him the best for 2024. People need to start looking past his actions in the past and look more at his journey. Very interesting growth and explosive game out on the court. Let’s go Holger!

Watching this video as he just parted ways with Becker. A stable coaching situation is what you need to win a slam. Why is he flip flopping between two of the greatest coaches of all time?

I just hope Holger's philosophy can change a bit under Boris and Severin. Daniil has showed a big shift in his way of thinking on and off the court now in Australia Open in comparision with his days of two years ago.

I agree with your breakdown of the issues that are causing Rune to not win as much as his talent would suggest. The biggest point for me was the decision making and shot selection, which to me go hand-in-hand. I’ve seen him essentially give up pivotal points due to his poor shot selection and decision-making

thanks again for your quality vids this so pleasing to watch ! I have immense faith in Rune he will win multiple majors no doubts and will create a big rivalry with alcaraz and sinner ! Can you make a similar video with two players that I think might one day get to the very top and wins a slam maybe ( Ben Shelton and Arthur Fils )

I’m a huge Sinner fan but I may have un unpopular opinion… I’ve watched many Rune’s matches this year and I think that he has the most impressive technique and potential out of them 3 ( rune, sinner, alcaraz). If he can control his temper, he can really become a dangerous player

I love these videos. You guys do a great job. So glad I found this channel and subscribed.

Holgers mother, Aneke, said, after the match, that Holger was shouting to his coach, Lars, to leave the box. Lars ignored it, and she left instead to take off the tension.

Great video! Thank you for sharing it with us, tennis fans! Rune is young and already a remarkable player🎉🎉🎉❤❤ Love when he plays even tho his mental part of the game makes me think sometimes that he is not ready for those GS 5 setters. Hope that he will only grow in 2024 and who knows, maybe he will reach later stages of GS this year once again! Maybe even a final of GS, which will be a great achievement! ❤😊😊 Way to go, Holger!

I hope you are right. Just streamed the BreakPoint show on Netflix, and this kid comes off as an arrogant, immature baby, and what's worse, he's encouraged by his mother and the ppl around him. Coach Patrick tried to straighten him out and Rune got rid of him, realized his mistake later and went back to him. However, with that attitude he will never get past Alcaraz !!

Just watched yesterday against Safiullin and you could hear quite a bit of emotional distress directed towards his box. Pretty interesting.

Holger is only 20, he'll get better at everything.

Rune is a very talented player. The problem is that Sinner and Alcaraz are really tough. Mentally he has to be solid. Yes he has victories over top players but it's a matter of week in and week out consistency. On a given day he can beat anyone. Moratagulu is interesting because he knows how to market himself. If l am a player who is capable of winning grand slams, l go to Darren Cahill, Boris Becker, Brad Gilbert, or Brad Stine.

As always, an excellent presentation! Wow! You put in the exact and perfect amount of everything…bravo! I look forward to seeing more!!! Happy new year. As for Rune, he will learn EVERYTHING he needs from Boris. Boris KNOWS tennis as good as anyone ever from players to coaches. Boris is going to teach him the inner game of tennis and the mental strategies that he needs

Rune never really deserved the hatred he received from the start. He's handled the negativity very well for such a young player. The 'fans' and 'media' painted him as the "bad-boy" of the next gen. Why? Never understood it. Maybe it was the match against Stan and Stan is highly respect on tour. However, Stan acted like a sore loser imo.

Rune is often simultaneously mentally pathetic & incredibly strong during the same match. He's super talented & I think he's a great player to watch so hoping for lots of success for him because to me he has more potential than anyone on tour save Alcaraz. Not a huge fan of his personality but he's still young & you can't like everyone all the time. I'm glad to see the good start he's had to the year, even though he lost that great final today to Dimitrov (love to see Dimi back to winning ways). I find it hard to take to Sinner's ball bashing playing style personally (even though he does seem to be trying to add drop shots & a net game in lately) & so I'm keen to see Rune do well, win multiple slams & have a super entertaining rivalry with Alcaraz for many years if all goes well.

Fana need ro give Holger some slack. Novak began as a bratty child and ia now a very different player, and one of the greats.

I like Rune. Amazing talent and all court ability. Refreshing to have him and Carlos after years of boring grinders. Yes he is a little childish but hey he has time to develop. Alot of privileged tennis stars act out. I think Rune needs to work on endurance.

everyone who wants to get inside the intensity & instability of being a tennis prodigy like HR should read Agassi’s memoir. basically, none of us can imagine the pressure, exhaustion, & confusion of a gifted adolescent in any field rising so fast. that said, thank god HR got rid of that conman Patrick & sought help from a real tennis player/coach. he now has to work on his court positioning and tactics, as we saw in the Dimitrov match. a seasoned player can still pull him up & back & get him out of court position, which is when he loses balance & shanks. he still slaps the ball more than strokes it (the way Carlos does & Sinner has learned to do). my basic point, his path to success is technical & tactical as much as emotional. i predict he’ll never win a GS but will hover in the top 10 for several years. he’ll win 5 m1000’s. he’ll be rich & happy. also, he’s gonna have bad injury problems. i like him.

I absolutely love your analysis on players, your videos are great! You are so eloquent and unbiased

To be fair, Mother's are known to be over bearing sometimes. We don't know his relationship with her. People are complicated.

I just watched him in Brisbane and he absolutely was great to watch and he’s probably my favourite player right now after watching him live. I’d be interested to know if he’s been diagnosed and medicated for ADHD, he 100% presents as having it and if he’s not diagnosed or medicated I think it would change his life being on Ritalin or Dex…he’s hyper all the time and figits like no other (Nadal is similar) but it would settle him down for sure and calm the outbursts to

Great video: content, host, and editing! Thanks. ❤

Love the way you present all angles. Well done! Yep Rune is skilled and talented but he wont be my new fave. I always look for the COMPLEAT player who’s worth the effort and expense of traveling far to watch the games. So far, Sinner and Alcaraz make me go. DeMinaur maybe someday soon. Felix and Ruud have been breaking my heart so now Im hesitating to buy tickets

People need to lay off Holgar. He’s actually a pretty good young man. Insanely talented, fights on court and brings a lot of interest/enthusiasm. to tennis fans who watch him play. The male brain doesn’t even fully develop until age 24-25. He’ll get there. He has displayed some humility at times and appears to be a very friendly and kind hearted young man. Stress, pressure and expectations tend to bring out some less than ideal and mature reactions at times. He’ll get better. I love watching him play and predict multiple majors for him ahead.

Great video, looking forward to more like this. Rune has a big test today v Dimitrov in the Brisbane (AU) Final. He is the #1 seed which does not happen often. If he can keep his head together, he should win in in straight sets as Dimitrov often plays too safe in finals, should be a good match anyway.

I don’t think Rune will be strong on the outdoor hard court season in the beginning of the year. He will not win tournaments here, but do better from the clay season onwards. He is a great player (I’m Danish), but I think he does too much slow top spinning under pressure, which is a no go on hard court- you get punished by flatter/hard hitting players like Rublev, Alcaraz, Sinner. He needs to play flatter instead of all this transportation/defensive play that has been inserted in his game. I understand that everything has to be dosed for the circumstances(his physicallity still does not allow him full gas), but he lost to Dimitrov because he gave away the initiative (and was tired after dropping sets in the opening two matches). Becker will hopefully build stability so he can play a more dictating game based on improved volleying and his retuning skills, then he’ll be deadly at the end of the season. Let’s see if he makes it - also with a matured attitude mentally…

He’s not beige….incredibly dynamic and good for the game.

It takes time to shape a person. He will get it.

Great content - just subscribed. But you do need to work on your pronunciation of Corretja (it's co-RRET-ya) 😁. Keep up the good work!

Finally we have proper tennis videos

A sophomore slump isa real thing. Other players figure out your game and how to beat you. Lesser players know your game plan too. you are also defending points from the previous year which adds more stress.

Wawrinka was in the wrong imo and Jannik gave HIM a cold handshake actually. And he is actually quite nice off court, especially to fans. Can't wait for his year now!!

I have witnessed something like this before with Max Verstappen. There was a Time where I hated him the most out of every driver. But he grew out of his spoiled behaviors and learned. He is way more calm these days. Acts way more like an adult. If Rune doesn't redeme himself, I am afraid he will loose the favor of the People and at best end up like Djokovic, and at worst end up like Kyrgios.

I like his tennis and how he trash public and media, cos they can be anoying, but I personal don't like when he disrepect opponents, he will learn that.

Really hope he does well man. His raw talent is insane.

Best tennis channel!

Holger is a young kid who like John Mac years ago can't yet control his emotions. Hormones going mad. Over next 2 to 3 years he will calm down.

The new grand slam winner for sure!

Great analysis, spot on

You look like Thanasi Kokkinakis :) Thanks for the upload

Ruud next! These analyses are great.

How has Felix A.A avoided a video.

There is a great excuse to kick out his mom, His mom is a perfectionist just like Holger, so she doesnt look happy when he is not performing to his best, Holger doesnt like that.

When John McEnroe warns you that your behavior would portend a lonely existence, it might be good to listen to a voice of experience…

It is pronounced Alex Correchaa not Coryetta 😅

I feel like not only his game but also his attitude has gotten way better since Becker joined his team

Great video ♥️

Nice video. Couldn’t agree more.

Has Rune been tested for roxadustat ? As he was working with Patrick Mouratoglou, we are all wondering if this was why they stopped working together, either the publicity following Simona Halep's ban after using roxadustat and working with Patrick... The timing, in any case is suspect.

Yes maturing will be important!

Just look at the Play at brisbane

being young it's not an excuse to be rude, it's his personality! if he doesn't change, he is not going any further

He made a good choice to hire Becker in his team !

7:03 That's rich, coming from McEnroe XD

Rune has just won a thrilling match against Dmitrov in Monte Carlo. Your boy Alcaraz couldn't even play because he overtrains and is frequently injured. Tsitsipas is doing really well but you probably haven't noticed. Your perfect player perception is so sad because it rules out everyone. Still waiting for a more balanced 'we need to talk about...' of Kyrgios but unless you do some research that's unlikely. You also haven't noticed that Kyrgios had serious wrist surgery eight months ago. Perhaps that's why you consider him too lazy to train?

Rune will be top 6 this year.

I'd like the standards we hold for these young players held up to the average frat boy in a US college

Why are your videos so gooooood!!? Who are you? Did you have good parents? LOL. Speaking of parents, Rune might have the same issue as Stefanos with overbearing, clingy parents and I don't judge him for telling his mom to leave the court. At least Holger realizes that he needs a coach who's actually either won some slams or coached someone who won slams under his/her guidance.

Holger is the one together with Jannik, having lots of emotions and fire to beat - this time its to beat Nole in his living-room - needing 3 winning sets. So both need to stay fully concentrated and conserve power in the 1st week. Come on Holger!!!

He did cheat several times which is a horrible. There were several situations last year where he did same shady things..

I see your Vacation Prince BB scented 🕯 ;)

love him!!!!

The times when he's beaten Novak, was when Novak was coming back from being banned for not talking the vaccine. The two victories were on the back of Novak having very little match time. Since Novak has been fully match fit, he has lost every time. He has everything to be a top multi grand slam winner but I feel his head will be his undoing.

You guys should do a video about the downfall of Schwartzman.

Physical problems and emotional problems not unrelated. Esp back spasm and cramping

Rune is Danish, teens in Denmark are free to behave like they are without a correction..

It's fine to be talented and athletic but if you don't have the mental game there is definitely a ceiling to your accomplishments.

He Will be number one👊

So why do u call him "Runer"?

Who the fuck is Holgar Rune, should be the title of this video since no one knows

Most champions have a way of staying on an even keel in a long match. They keep their cool when it's going good AND going bad. Nadal, Federer, Djokovic & Murray all use the fist pump and a shout a few times per match but they, in general, keep an even keel and don't engage with their opponent. Rune is too up and down. I also don't think Becker is a great coach. Becker has a difficult time running his personal life and I think he needs a coach with a better head on his shoulders.

He will be number one someday.

Holger was a brat… there are clips on UKposts of Holger calling an opponent a homophobic slur and the screaming he did to his mother during the rest period in a mstch. He sceamed at her til she left the stadium. He was awful but leads me to believe Mother Dearest is the problem… in this mix, they seem to have a toxic relationship… I am happy he is back with George, who seem to bring out the best in him , both tennis and attitude… but me thinks Mother dearest felt threaten. Who knows

maybe he'll become a good player with boris...Maybe...he has talent obviously but he needs something else...More and More

His forehand is suspect.

I have big expectations on Rune, he needs to mature as a professional player. He has all the tools to stay in the top 10

rune seems to have no respect from his peers....

#wheresholger

Noting wrong with Rune. The problem is his mother. Fancy saying Wawrinka is a sore loser ?

Hadnt been brought up well...got to. Control his emotions..he is a failure

Holger is a future #1, but it won't come until 2025.

How is Patrick Mouitaglou’s reputation still intact and Simona Halep’s is in the dirt? He has literally taken full responsibility for her positive test and you’re speaking about him like he is a reputable coach. It really is a man’s world

Boris could use a job tbh, and pay his taxes.

"Unacceptable slurs" I remember a time when we were making fun of each other using those "unacceptable slurs" but that was back when people were not doing their very best to get offended by everything.

Most mature American be like:

I kinda quite like him. But he is a seriously unpleasant character.

He is a spoiled brat. Don't need to hear your take!

His main mistake was he praised Novak for helping young players by giving advise and critized Roger and Nadal for not doing kind of thing that they should as their reputation before he got into top player. That upset many fans since Roger and Nadal are the most loved players and their fans hate Novak. So many fans put him in the lane of Novak beforhand. His personal outburst also helped to be badboy.

Ivan Drago. 😁😁

He has the nicest legs on tour.

He could start with getting rid of his silly punk hat. Grow up dude.

Maybe he's good or talented, but he's action definitely shows he's arrogant.

I think Rune lack consistency. Is their a world number who lost six games in a row after they broke through? He unfortunatelly reminds me of Kyrgios in many ways

Missing rafa and roger so much ❤️

talk about BEN SHELTON PLSSSS

Frankly, only Alcaraz and Rune seem to master every shot in the game. Now, if Rune can add another 30% over time ... 💣
