Holger Rune Excited to Have Severin Luthi as Coach in Australian Open

Rising tennis star Holger Rune has expressed his excitement at the addition of Severin Luthi, former coach of Roger Federer, to his coaching team as he competes in the Australian Open. Rune, who is already backed by fellow tennis legend Boris Becker, revealed that having Luthi, who played a crucial role in Federer’s career, in his team is like having a piece of his idol on board.

The 20-year-old Danish player secured a victory over Yoshihito Nishioka in the first round of the tournament, while Luthi cheered him on from the sidelines. In a post-match interview, Rune shared his enthusiasm, stating, ‘Roger was my childhood idol, so it’s cool to have a bit of him in my team.’ This recent addition to Rune’s coaching team, coupled with the already powerful lineup, is expected to provide the young star with valuable insights and motivation.

Having made it to the quarter-finals at both the French Open and Wimbledon, Rune is eager to make his mark in the Australian Open. With the combined expertise of Luthi and Becker, Rune’s expectations are soaring as he navigates the competition in Melbourne. He believes that Luthi’s presence will bring great energy and advice based on his extensive experience, giving the team an extra edge.

The tennis world is watching closely to see if Rune’s performance receives a noticeable boost with Luthi on board. As the tournament progresses, the young Danish player will be aiming to surpass his fourth-round performance from last year’s Australian Open. Rune’s next opponent is Arthur Cazaux, and fans are eagerly waiting to witness his continued progress in the tournament.
