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 away from the courts for a while due to an Achilles tendon injury that will require surgery. The injury occurred during the Nordic Open semi-final in Stockholm on Saturday. Rune was forced to retire from the match against Ugo Humbert while leading the match with a score of 6-4, 2-2, showing obvious signs of pain.

It’s going to be a while before I can step on the court again. It’s tough. I had so much joy on the court in Stockholm and it’s unbearable to think that I won’t feel this energy for a while.
