Agassi is working with Rune in Washington to offer “a fresh set of eyes”

After the trial collaboration between Alexander Zverev and Toni Nadal at the Rafa Nadal Academy, a new duo is stepping into the spotlight this Saturday! As the North American swing is set to begin next week, Holger Rune was spotted training in Washington with Andre Agassi.

According to our information, the American is not yet officially part of the Danish player’s team. The two will work together for three days in the United States before deciding what comes next. Andre Agassi is there to bring a fresh perspective to the Rune project, whose main coach remains Lars Christensen, also present in Washington.

A video published by the YouTube channel Open Court shows Holger Rune and Andre Agassi training together.

Holger Rune is currently working on strengthening his team after a first half of the season marked by ups and downs.

He claimed the fifth title of his career on the clay courts of Barcelona and reached the final of the Indian Wells Masters 1000. However, he has not gone beyond the round of 16 in any Grand Slam and was knocked out in the first round at Wimbledon.

This is the second time in his career that the Danish player, currently ranked No. 8 in the world, will compete at the Washington tournament. He won’t have many ATP points to defend during the North American hard-court swing this season. In 2024, he lost in the third round in Montreal, reached the semifinals in Cincinnati, and suffered a first-round exit at the US Open.
