Overview
- New footage from Monte‑Carlo shows Rune performing single‑leg court drills with his left foot protected in a walking boot under coach Marco Panichi’s supervision.
- The video marks his transition from a full cast to a boot following surgery for the Achilles rupture sustained at the Stockholm Open.
- WTA player Daria Saville cautioned that pushing so hard early in rehab can lead to burnout, citing her own ACL and Achilles recoveries.
- Some fans voiced concern that loading solely on the right leg could create new injury risk, even as Rune maintains an aggressive but adapted routine.
- Reporting continues to project a lengthy absence, with expectations he may miss most of the 2026 season and only a slim chance of a second‑half return.
