Holger Rune Injured and Will Be Out of the Courts for a While
Danish tennis player Holger Rune, currently ranked number 11 in the world, announced that he will be out of the courts for a considerable time due to an Achilles tendon injury that will require surgery. The news comes after his retirement in the semifinals of the Nordic Open in Stockholm.During the semi-final match against Ugo Humbert, Rune was forced to leave the court visibly affected by pain. The score at that moment was 6-4, 2-2 in favor of Rune.
The 22-year-old tennis player shared on his social media that his Achilles tendon suffered a “complete rupture in the proximal part” and that he will be operated on next week. Rune has managed to reach the quarter-finals in three Grand Slam tournaments and reached the number 4 position in the world ranking.It’s going to be a while before I can step on the court again. It’s tough. I felt so much joy on the court in Stockholm and it’s unbearable to think that I won’t feel this energy for a while.
