Holger Rune said he is facing surgery for an Achilles injury he suffered in his semifinal match at the Nordic Open in Stockholm on Saturday.
The injury occurred in the second set, with Rune leading Frenchman Ugo Humbert 6-4, 2-2 and the game tied at 40. On the next point, Rune ran to catch up to Humbert's shot and slightly jumped as he hit the ball, then came down limping before grabbing his lower left leg.
'It's gonna be a while before I can step on court again,' Rune, ranked No. 11 in the world, posted to Instagram on Sunday. 'It's tough. I had so much joy on court in Stockholm and it's unbearable to think that I will not feel this energy for some time now.
'My Achilles is full broken on the proximal part meaning I need operation already next week and from here rehabilitation. Thank you for all your support now and always. Without you nothing would be the same. See you as soon as possible.'
Rune, a 22-year-old from Denmark, had one win this season, defeating Carlos Alcaraz in Barcelona in April for his fifth career victory. He ends the 2025 season with a 36-22 record.
