The injury occurred during the semifinals of last year’s Stockholm Open, where Rune broke the proximal part of his Achilles. He had surgery shortly after, which was reported to have gone well.
Since then, he’s been keeping fans updated on social media, sharing clips and updates about his training. During his time away from the tour, Rune’s ranking has slipped to world No. 29.
His recovery timeline has been swift, but there are growing concerns among fans that he might be pushing himself too soon.

He shouldn’t even think of playing pro until at least November.
” Another added: “Rune is about to compete after 7 months from the torn Achilles he suffered in October. I saw that he was putting a lot of effort into the recovery and rehab, but I wonder if his return to the courts isn’t a bit rushed. Hope everything is good and he will be able to compete.
