In his Instagram post, Rune expressed his frustration and sadness over the injury. He described that his Achilles tendon was “completely torn at the proximal end” and that he will be operated on next week.

It’s tough. I felt a lot of joy on the court in Stockholm and it’s unbearable to think that I won’t feel this energy for a while now.
