Holger Rune Bypasses Clay for a Comeback on Grass

Danish tennis star Holger Rune has confirmed his withdrawal from the upcoming French Open, choosing instead to focus on recovering from Achilles tendon surgery.

The decision, announced on social media platform X, comes as Rune prioritizes his health after sustaining the injury in a tournament in Sweden last October.

Although disappointed to miss the clay season, the former top-five player is eager to make a comeback during the grass court season, eyeing Wimbledon for his return.
