Holger Rune<\/a>\u00a0is one of those tennis players that fans love to see on a tennis court. His high energy, aggressive style, and his array of shots make him a force on any surface, as well as a thrill to watch. His prolonged hiatus<\/a> has certainly meant he’s been missed on the court, especially as Carlos Alcaraz, another highly entertaining player, continues his recovery from the sidelines.<\/p>\n

The Dane has not played since October last year, when he ruptured his Achilles tendon<\/a>\u00a0during a match in the Stockholm Open. He was initially scheduled to make his comeback<\/a> late in the clay season at the Hamburg Open, just in time before the second Slam, Roland Garros, gets underway. Whether he would play Roland Garros<\/a>, where he has twice been a quarterfinalist (in 2022 and 2023), was unclear at the time, but it probably depended on how his body handled the rigours of clay tennis in Hamburg.<\/p>\n

However, the plan to return to Hamburg has now been scrapped as the player took to his X account to announce a pushback on that timeline. The young Dane wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

Tough decision not to play the clay season , but the right one . Can\u2019t wait to see you all on the grass \ud83e\udd29 Thank you to everyone for your love and support throughout my rehab \u2764\ufe0f see you in not too long<\/p>\n
