Is Rune pushing too hard in his recovery?
It is the question we all asked ourselves when, just eight days after tearing his Achilles tendon in Stockholm, Holger Rune shared a video on social media showing him hitting balls on a practice court without moving his left leg. Daria Saville knows a lot about this, having undergone the same operation years ago requiring nearly a year to return to competition.
"It is important that he has decided to share his rehabilitation journey as I did, but I see that he is pushing very hard in this initial recovery phase, which would have destabilized me a bit. He is building everything differently, becoming a great inspiration and making it clear that he is a great champion. However, an overly intense recovery could end up wearing him out too much," the Australian assessed through a message on social media.
as someone who’s been through two ACL recos and an Achilles surgery, if I’d pushed this hard this early in rehab (return to play), I would’ve gone insane. I do think Holger is built different tho 💪 but idk… I know rehab burnout too well. https://t.co/gZRETXZ3Dd
