Holger Rune has confirmed he suffered an Achilles injury during his semi-final clash on Saturday in Stockholm. The Dane was forced to retire at 2-2 in the second set against Ugo Humbert and was helped off court by an ATP physio.

“It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again,” Rune wrote on 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 ends his season holding a 36-22 record, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. The 22-year-old’s best result in 2025 came in Barcelona, where he defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the title match.
