Holger Rune Postpones Comeback Further

Danish tennis star Holger Rune will not be making his comeback at the grass-court tournament at Queen's Club in London, as planned. His mother and manager, Aneke Rune, confirmed to Ritzau that he has withdrawn from the event, which is set to begin on June 15.

The primary focus for Rune is now to recover sufficiently to compete in the Grand Slam tournament at Wimbledon, scheduled to commence on June 29. If his recovery progresses well, he may participate in exhibition matches to gain match practice before Wimbledon.

Rune had initially aimed for a return during the clay-court season earlier this year. However, this plan was aborted due to an irritated knee. This injury also led to his withdrawal from a tournament in Hamburg and the French Open on May 11.

The current issue traces back to an incident in October 2025, when the now 23-year-old Dane suffered an Achilles tendon rupture during a semifinal match in Stockholm. His leg gave way mid-rally, causing him to fall to the ground.
