Holger Rune Confirms Ruptured Achilles, Faces Long Layoff

“It's gonna be a while before I can step on court again,” Rune told fans, “My Achilles is fully broken… I need an operation next week, then rehabilitation.” He retired in Stockholm while leading against Ugo Humbert 6-4, 2-2. Reporters noted he’s unlikely to be back before the US Open, even if rehab goes perfectly. “See you soon," Rune concluded.
