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.\n\nRune had been sidelined since rupturing his left Achilles tendon last October and had initially hoped to return in time for the grass-court season.

In June, Rune told AFP that he intends to return stronger than before, emphasizing his desire to enjoy himself and deliver his best performance.",
