Holger Rune turned heads at the Citi Open in Washington when he stepped onto the practice court with none other than Andre Agassi. The eight-time Grand Slam champion joined Rune’s team for a short-term mentorship, offering insights and guidance ahead of the US Open swing. This unexpected pairing sparked excitement across the tennis world.
A Three-Day Mentorship
The collaboration wasn’t a formal coaching arrangement but a focused three-day training block. Rune had reached out to Agassi months earlier, seeking advice from someone he admired deeply.
Wisdom from a Legend
Agassi’s influence was immediately felt. Known for his exceptional return game and tactical brilliance, he offered Rune specific tips to refine his own strengths. Rune described Agassi as “a very wise man” who sees the game in a way he’d never experienced before.
