Rune's Comeback Quest: Shanghai Masters Opening Round
7 Oct
Summary
- Holger Rune returns after nearly a year-long Achilles tendon injury.
- Rune recently lost in the first round after a year-long hiatus.
- Altmaier has struggled in his recent hard court appearances.
Holger Rune is set to compete in the Shanghai Masters, marking his return to the court after an almost year-long hiatus. Rune sustained a left Achilles tendon rupture last year, leading to surgery and an extended recovery period. His comeback match at the Davis Cup was followed by a disappointing opening-round exit at the hands of Kyrian Jacquet, where he appeared rusty.
Meanwhile, Daniel Altmaier has also struggled in his recent hard court performances. He was eliminated in the first round of the US Open and recently lost to Jie Cui in Shanghai. Rune and Altmaier have met once before, with Rune winning that encounter. The prediction favors Rune, who thrives on hard courts, over Altmaier, who is more comfortable on clay.
