Carlos Alcaraz tells Holger Rune what he needs to do after losing another match following his return from injury

Carlos Alcaraz has given Holger Rune some advice on his comeback to tennis following his injury. Rune had been absent from the sport for a year after injuring his Achilles tendon during the Stockholm Open in 2022. Rune recently returned to competition at the Davis Cup but has not yet won a match on the ATP Tour. Alcaraz, who also dealt with a wrist injury earlier this year, advised Rune to be patient in his return.

"The injury he had, it's a really complicated one because, you know, I would say the movement in tennis, I would say it's almost everything," Alcaraz said. "His style is all about movement, to move well on court and cover the court as much as he can. So, he might lose some matches right now, but I'm really happy to see him back on court.

He has to be patient because it's going to be a slow process, but he's going to get to the point he wants to get." Rune is scheduled to play in three more tournaments this year: Basel, Paris, and Stockholm. At each of these tournaments, Rune has previously had success.
