Holger Rune is wasting no time in his recovery journey! Just ten days after undergoing Achilles tendon repair surgery, the young Dane has already returned to the practice court.
Thus, the former Masters 1000 champion showed remarkable determination and grit following the biggest setback of his career that will keep him away from the court for months.
Holger, who suffered a severe left ankle injury during the Stockholm Open semi-final, shared footage of himself training again - this time in a seated position on an indoor court, keeping his left leg fully straight while striking forehands from a platform.
The session symbolized the first step on what promises to be a long but determined road back for the young champion. The 22-year-old is expected to return at some point in 2026.

Despite missing the start of the new season, the Dane's quick return to the court showcases the same competitive fire that has defined his rise on the ATP Tour, making him a top-10 star.
Rather than waiting for full mobility, Holger has already begun adapting his training to maintain rhythm, focus and positive vibes. Rune smiled and looked confident despite a massive setback that will ruin his progress.
The road to recovery will be demanding, as always after severe injuries. However, the Dane's message is clear - while his body suffers, his spirit remains unbroken.
Even sidelined by a major injury, the young star continues to fight days after surgery. His gesture proves once again why he is one of the sport's most relentless competitors and an inspiration for the upcoming players and tennis lovers.
