It's not like Holger Rune and Patrick Mouratoglou have to really get to know each other first. The Dane has been training at Mouratoglou's academy for years, and the advice of Serena Williams' ex-coach will have been incorporated into Rune's game in the past. However, the main coach remains Lars Christensen anyway.
In any case, the start with Mouratoglou as a supplement went reasonably well in Stockholm. Because Rune moved into the round of 16 of the ATP Tour 250 tournament in the Swedish capital with a 7: 5 and 6: 2. There Rune, who won his first event on the ATP tour in Munich this year, is waiting for Cristian Garin, who was able to clearly assert himself against Jason Kubler 6: 2 and 6: 4. By the way, Garin also won the title in Munich.
Stefanos Tsitsipas leads the seed list in Stockholm ahead of Cameron Norrie and Frances Tiafoe. Oscar Otte is the only German-speaking starter. The Cologne native has to face local hero Elias Ymer. Who also came into the main draw with a wild card, like Leo Borg, the son of tennis legend Björn Borg.
