Overview

• Holger Rune left the Nordic Open semi-final in tears with a suspected torn Achilles, and doctors estimate a three- to six-month layoff, according to his mother.
• Jack Draper, currently sidelined with an arm issue, said the tour must adapt for player longevity, calling the workload unsustainable for younger players.
• Taylor Fritz said injuries and burnout are increasing, attributing the strain to slower balls, court speeds, and taxing conditions that intensify weekly demands.
• Seven of the nine Masters 1000 events now run 10–12 days, a shift players such as Alexander Zverev say reduces recovery time and extends total competition weeks.
• Reuters noted a spate of withdrawals on both tours, with Iga Swiatek planning to cut commitments for health, as the PTPA’s March lawsuit keeps pressure on organizers.
