We don‘t know why Kenneth Carlsen is not coaching in the coming weeks but Benjamin Ebrahimzadeh Rezayeh is with Holger in Asia.
Holger Rune has a new coach

Should've added a poll for how many months they'd last before he gets replaced again

Problem is not with coaching, he's not good enough. At best he's a top 10 player and will never win a slam.

True. Too many technical flaws.

I still have hope for Holger, he is too good to write him off.

Embarrassingly lost to ATP number 160 today. Didn't help him much. The guy should take a year off do something else.

I watched the match today. An embarrassing loss to #160 in the world. He doesn’t have any confidence and he doesn’t have a gameplan. No coach will be able to give him what he needs. His new coach looked lost today and Holger only gave him anger and frustration.
I also think the best he can do is to take some time off - both from tennis and his mother.

He’ll never win a slam

Why should he take a break ? What will he achieve? He should just accept being a journeyman and so should his fan.its not his fault if his deluded fans have high hopes from him.

Top 10 player is still a very good player. I don’t think enough of you actually realize how hard it is to be a perennial top 10 player.

He tried the Djoker trick today of wearing a white wrist band on his dominant wrist, and a dark one on his left. But he didn’t do it right.

Nobody denied that , I am talking about people who are deluded into thinking that he will a slam winner.

That's because these critics only care about majors. There is so much more to tennis.

Yes, like ATP 500s, like this one, where he got demolished by #160.

Which is good because Rune has done nothing at every level.

An another amazing thread I have read in the last 1 minute.
The first one was astonishingly Sinner has played out of his mind over the last 8 months and what a shock it is that he is doing so ignoring his performance drug taking.
Then this.... astonishingly Rune has found he needed a new coach to turn him from a mental midget/poor tennis player to a genius/#1 ATP player.
I am not sure I can find better information anyplace else!

agreed here, lots of these conversations make me laugh. Being top 10 is not only insanely difficult to achieve, but to stay there year after year. you still have to defend points tourney after tourney. weak era strong era whatever.
You've got the wrong thread, pal.

Fair enuff. He’s barely a top 50 player now.

Like what? Can you name several of them?

What's wrong with his serve technically? In general, it's a very strong shot. Nice variation on the first serve. Good kick.
I think platform limits how hard he can hit his 1st serve. I agree he's got a good kick serve.

But what are the specific technical flaws in each of those shots?

Lots of platform serves thrash the ball without problems.

Kid is 21 years old, plenty of time to add to his achievements. Hope the new coach is a positive collaboration.

Forehand take back has a hitch (the unit turn is 2 pieces). Somewhat related, if his opponent plays straight up the middle to him he doesn't create adequate space. (He actually hits the FH pretty well on the run).
His serve...it's not how I would teach it, but I don't really see anything wrong technically. The year he won Bercy he was serving bombs.
He floats his slice backhand. No surprise, his (what, twice, three times?) former coach is teaching him 80's era technique here. As usual, PM has no idea what he's talking about. All modern players with a good slice finish across their body. (Tsitsipas also has a terrible slice BH, some coincidence that he's also a PM disciple).
Rune has solid technique on the 2HBH, IMO.
All of that said, IMO it cannot be understated that the vast majority of what is hurting him is between the ears, not how he hits the ball.

The second one is a unwanted record. Lendl can finally be relieved after that record of 11 slam final loss is broken
Fed was close with 10 final losses as I calculated
