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 while due to an Achilles tendon injury that will require surgery. The injury occurred during the Nordic Open semi-finals in Stockholm on Saturday, where Rune had to retire from the match against Ugo Humbert while leading 6-4, 2-2.The 22-year-old tennis player revealed that his Achilles tendon is “completely torn in the proximal part” and that he will be operated on next week. Rune has reached the quarter-finals of three Grand Slams and reached number 4 in the ranking.It’s going to be a while before I can step on the court again. It’s difficult. 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.
