If we already knew that Holger Rune's injury was serious, one of those that requires many months to heal well, I don't understand why there has been so much noise in each tour that has been taking place this season. That need to slip a bit of smoke under the door to make us think that his return could be anticipated. In the end, no matter how much the Dane wants to come back, he has not been able to change reality.

And the reality is that an Achilles tendon rupture requires time and a lot of patience, without getting lost in fantasies. We saw him step on the clay, seeking a miracle in the last events of the circuit, but to no avail. Now, the same scenario with the grass tour, pointing to a possible return at Wimbledon. More of the same, just with different words. Today, it has been officially confirmed that the former World No. 4 will not be ready for the third Grand Slam of the season, something that was already known since the beginning of the season.

So, when will Holger Rune return?

That is the question everyone wants to answer, although most do not want to wait until they have the exam in front of them. Injured seriously since mid-October, in that fateful semifinal in Stockholm against Ugo Humbert, Holger Rune's recovery is about to reach eight months in duration. Considering that the estimated period was between ten months or even a whole year, it would be most intelligent to start planning from this upcoming US Open, where it is also not clear if he will be able to make it in time. Let's leave the Dane in peace, avoiding constantly opening this curtain only to close it later. Let that tendon heal properly; he has time to return.

This news is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Rune tendrá que esperar: ni Roland Garros, ni tampoco Wimbledon
