Holger Rune withdraws from Stockholm Open quarter-final against Taylor Fritz with hamstring injury

Shortly before the public match at the Stockholm Open, a shock announcement came at the Royal Tennis Hall: Danish star Holger Rune is withdrawing from his quarter-final against top-seeded American Taylor Fritz because of an injury.

"I had a minor hamstring injury yesterday, and I don't want to risk anything by playing today. I want to start next season healthy," Rune writes on his Instagram account.

A year ago, the 23-year-old left the ATP tournament in Stockholm in tears after tearing his Achilles tendon during the semi-finals. He underwent surgery and did not make his comeback until September.

At his peak, the Dane was ranked world No. 4 (2023), but during his injury layoff he has plummeted to 407th place.
