Danish tennis player Holger Rune confirmed on Sunday that he has ruptured his Achilles tendon which will require surgery and sideline him for many months.
World number 11 Rune sustained the injury in the second set of his semi-final at the Stockholm Open on Saturday against French player Ugo Humbert.
Rune had to abandon the match and his mother had already suggested post-match to Danish radio that the left Achilles was torn, and Rune saying he actually heard it pop.
Rune confirmed this on Sunday via Instagram, saying: "My Achilles is full broken on the proximal part meaning I need operation already next week and from here rehabilitation.
"It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again. 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."
