Overview

• Rune led Ugo Humbert 6-4, 2-2 when he pulled up with sharp pain in his left leg, received on-court treatment, and retired in tears.
• His mother said tournament doctors were confident the injury is a torn Achilles, with scans scheduled to confirm the diagnosis and whether surgery is needed.
• Initial guidance from his camp suggests a recovery window of roughly three to six months if the tear is confirmed, likely ending his season and harming his Race to Turin bid.
• Ugo Humbert moved into the Nordic Open final and will face Casper Ruud, who defeated Denis Shapovalov 6-3, 6-4.
• Rune had been playing with his left hamstring strapped, and the incident prompted players including Jack Draper and Taylor Fritz to urge changes to the tour’s calendar and conditions to reduce injury risk.
