Holger Rune was one of the protagonists of the recent UTS tournament, where he shared interesting insights on how he sees Andy Murray as Novak Djokovic's coach. The current world number 13 made it clear that he had never considered the Brit as his coach, but he offers his perspective on how Andy can assist the Serbian player.

An unexpected yet intriguing alliance

"It's an interesting setup, that's for sure," Holger began, as reported by Tennis Majors. "I don't think many of us saw this coming. I think it could potentially be good for both. Novak didn't have a coach before, so it was natural for him to seek one, but I didn't expect it to be someone like Andy."

"Andy is obviously a super smart player, and someone who has beaten him at times. I was thinking, 'Why exactly were they paired together?' And I think it's because they can talk a lot about strategy and how to beat the best players. Both have a very high tennis IQ. I think it's going to be very interesting."

Murray, a special individual

"There aren't many people who can tell Novak much, but if anyone can, it's Andy, someone who played in the same era and competed against him, so I'm sure he knows some things that he probably thinks would help. I think Andy will do a good job," added Thanasi Kokkinakis, in favor of the Serb player's new signing.
