Rune announces return to tennis after 11 months out

Holger Rune, the former world No 4, has revealed he will return to professional tennis next month after an 11-month absence due to a left Achilles tendon injury. The 23-year-old Danish player announced his comeback in a video posted on Instagram, expressing his excitement about joining Denmark's Davis Cup team against Bulgaria on September 18.

Rune had been sidelined since rupturing his left Achilles tendon last October and had initially hoped to return in time for the grass-court season. However, he ultimately withdrew from Wimbledon and the US Open. In June, Rune told AFP that he intends to return stronger than before, emphasizing his desire to enjoy himself and deliver his best performance.
