Roger Federer’s long-time coach Severin Luthi has joined Holger Rune’s camp as one of his coaches alongside Boris Becker. The world No 8 recently admitted that he and his young rivals needed to do better at stopping Novak Djokovic from winning more Majors. And Rune appears to be putting together the perfect super team to help him in his quest.
Rune announced that Luthi had joined his team in an Instagram post on Wednesday. The 20-year-old has been completing his pre-season in Monte Carlo under the guidance of Becker, who recently took on a full-time job as Rune’s coach following a successful end to 2023.
“Very happy to welcome Severin to my team alongside Boris,” the Dane wrote alongside a photo of himself standing with Luthi, Becker, his performance coach Lapo Becherini, and his mother and manager Aneke Rune. The Swiss coach previously worked with Federer for 15 years before the 20-time Major winner retired in 2022.
Luthi has also worked with Switzerland’s Davis Cup team since 2002 and was promoted to captain in 2005. It means that Rune is now being mentored by the former coaches of both Federer and Djokovic, as Boris Becker worked with the Serb from late 2013 to late 2016.
