The most excited Rune opens up: "I am convinced that soon I will be much better"

Despite not being the most disciplined, regular, or consistent, nobody doubted the talent he possessed in his racket Holger Rune. His breakthrough on the circuit left no one indifferent, his ability to challenge the best delighted the fans, and his youth foreshadowed great success... but the path is not without bumps and curves, something the Dane has experienced lucidly after his last unfortunate injury.

Perhaps from these experiences, positive things can be drawn, a vision that Holger wants to follow to the letter to become a threat again on the ATP circuit. The word doubt does not seem to exist in the Scandinavian's vocabulary, sincere in the television microphones of his country, which dedicated an emotional feature on his early days of rehabilitation. "I have no doubts that I will come back much better. I am convinced. Now I take things with much more perspective; there is nothing I take for granted. I have learned to appreciate every day". He appears calm, serene, and with a completely renewed perspective; somewhat convinced that a Holger Rune 2.0 has been born.

In this new philosophy, Rune also shows himself to be delving much deeper into the details, carrying out a more meticulous work in all areas of his preparation. This trend was anticipated after the hiring of Marco Panichi, focused on making him much better physically, and the injury seems to have been the spark that has fully ignited the fire. "I ask myself why this happened to me. I do not believe that something like this happens by chance for a second: you learn to listen to your body. I rushed too much returning from Shanghai and flying a day later to play in Estocolmo", confesses a Holger who attributes a good part of the blame for his injury to the roadmap he planned at the end of the season.

"You always want to achieve things, but sometimes you have to remember how you are feeling physically and personally. Sometimes you are out of it and need a week or a week and a half of rest. This is something I have learned from this experience", Rune states convincingly, trying to find the positive side to what is probably the worst moment of his sporting career.

Rune recalls the moment the rupture occurred and vividly describes how he felt

Remembering an instant that could mark your sporting career is not easy. A couple of tears surface on the Dane's cheeks when he decides to talk about his fateful match against Ugo Humbert in Estocolmo, the last one in many months. "Every time I remember it, I get goosebumps. When it happened, I heard a 'pop' in my leg. I didn't know exactly what it was. Afterwards, my foot felt strange, as if a piece was missing. It seemed like something had broken. I felt no connection from my calf to my Achilles tendon. That's when I thought: 'Damn, this is not good'. It's difficult to talk about what happened", he recalls with immense pain.

Fortunately for him, the recovery pace seems to be going full steam ahead: he is already touching the racket while standing, entering a phase of his rehabilitation that perhaps comes sooner than expected. In the meantime, cultivating patience, learning to listen to his body, and leaving behind any hint of haste will be the subjects in which he must progress to find his best version... we will be waiting here.
