"It would be nice to be able to steal something from what both of them have achieved together. They have done so many things right together, maybe Boris can tell me something about it," said 20-year-old Dane Holger Rune on Saturday before the ATP tournament in Basel.
Becker returns to the coaching stage as Rune's coach; from 2013 to 2016 he had already celebrated numerous successes alongside today's Grand Slam record champion Djokovic (36). "Boris did a good job as Djokovic's coach. I'm excited to see what he has to say," said Rune.

The tournament in Basel will be the first appearance for the duo after a week of training together in Monte Carlo, where both Becker and his new protégé are based. A year ago Rune reached the final in Switzerland.
"Boris is teaching me basic but important things," said the sixth in the world rankings, who has recently stumbled a bit: "It's going to be nice, you'll see. I hope he can give me as much advice as possible and help me get better ."
