The 23-year-old will compete in Denmark's Davis Cup tie against Bulgaria on September 18 at the Copenhagen venue. Rune expressed his excitement about his comeback, stating he has been working hard during his time off. He had initially hoped to return in time for the grass-court season but had to withdraw from Wimbledon and the US Open. Rune emphasized that his goal is to come back stronger and enjoy the experience of being back on the court.",
