Alcaraz's Advice for Rune's Comeback: 'Be Patient!'
8 Oct
Summary
- Carlos Alcaraz advises Holger Rune to be patient in his tennis comeback.
- Rune ruptured his Achilles tendon nearly a year ago, sidelining him.
- Rune faces three more tournaments this season: Basel, Paris, and Stockholm.
Carlos Alcaraz has shared his perspective on Holger Rune's ongoing return to tennis following a serious injury. Rune has been sidelined for nearly a year due to an Achilles tendon rupture sustained at the Stockholm Open. Since his recent competitive comeback at the Davis Cup, Rune has yet to secure a victory on the ATP Tour.
Alcaraz, who himself experienced a nearly five-month absence due to a wrist injury, advised Rune to exercise patience. He noted that the nature of Rune's injury, which heavily impacts a player's movement, makes the comeback process particularly challenging. Alcaraz expressed happiness in seeing Rune back on court and believes consistent match play will help him regain his competitive rhythm.
Rune has a schedule of three remaining tournaments for the 2026 season: Basel, Paris, and Stockholm. He has previously achieved success at these events, including reaching the final in Basel and winning titles in Paris and Stockholm in 2022.
