Well well well...
This is straight from the horse's mouth (Rune's).
"But there has been another talking point about the top seed’s run this week.
That's because he took off his cap during his opening match and hasn’t worn it since."
"While Rune brushed it off and said it was too hot to wear a hat inside, his mother and agent Aneke said that the 20-year-old should actually credit Becker for the change. “Holger has tinkered with it every now and then, but Boris himself felt that way when he was playing, that the less things that interfered, the better,”
"The four-time title winner had a slightly different explanation for his decision not to wear a cap, however, also joking that he still wanted to have hair when he was older. “It’s a good question,” Rune smiled when he was asked where his cap had gone.
“For those that don’t know, it’s extremely hot in this arena. So yesterday after the first set it was like, I was sweating a lot and I had to control it all the time so why not, let’s play without it and see what happens. It’s not that I’m superstitious but it’s working pretty well. It’s good to get some air for the hair as well if you want to have some hair when you’re 50.”
"Although he didn’t credit Becker for stopping him from wearing caps and necklaces, the 20-year-old did pay tribute to his new coach when he discussed his impressive 7-6(2) 6-1 win over Sebastian Baez. The top seed in Basel added: “It’s great to have Boris on the side, giving me advice. I was serving extremely well today. You know, it isn’t a secret where that might come from. But I’m happy with how I handled the situation.”"
