Holger Rune posted pictures on Instagram from his most recent practice week in Monaco, including Boris Becker, who created a rumour mill.

Rune is not having a very good time on the tennis courts lately despite snapping his seven-match losing streak in Asia. His worst outing in the last two months was his last one, as he lost to Brandon Nakashima in a match that left many of his fans frustrated.

He's not playing well at all at the moment, and it's really starting to impact his approach to matches as he faltered uncharacteristically in the match against Nakashima.

Still, he's working hard to better himself and get back to winning ways, and towards that goal, Rune possibly enlisted the help of Boris Becker, who has experience with coaching.

The German was present during Rune's practices in Monte-Carlo, which could, in fairness, be just a coincidence or a one-off involvement of the German coach.

Rune has his primary coach who travels with him to events, but he also worked with Patrick Mouratoglou in the past year or so. It was a great partnership at first and worked well, but over time, the relationship soured, and they split recently.

Rune went back to his primary coach Lars Christensen, because it's a dynamic that works best for him. And yet here we are, with Boris Becker possibly joining the team of the Danish youngster.

The German might have just been in the city and stopped by, or he's actually there to provide some guidance. He did serve as a tennis coach in the past, most notably for Novak Djokovic, and it didn't go badly, though it's Djokovic.

So let's see whether Becker appears in Stockholm, which is the next event of Rune. He won the trophy there last year, so there are a lot of expectations for him to do well at the ATP 250 event, especially with his most recent struggles.
