Overview
- Rune sustained a complete rupture of his left Achilles during the Nordic Open semifinal against Ugo Humbert while leading 6-4, 2-2, forcing him to retire.
- He underwent repair surgery in Denmark and told fans the operation went really well as he begins rehabilitation.
- Reporting cites typical Achilles timelines of many months, with projections suggesting he will miss the rest of 2025 and much of 2026.
- His mother, Aneke, blamed the ATP’s demanding calendar and said players face financial penalties for skipping mandatory Masters events, citing a 25% reduction in a player’s annual share.
- The setback halts a strong 2025 in which Rune went 36-22 with a Barcelona title and an Indian Wells Masters final, ending his push for the ATP Finals.
