Holger Rune suffered a horrific injury at the 2025 Stockholm Open.

The Danish star ruptured his Achilles while competing against Frenchman Ugo Humbert at the 2025 event.

Rune spent 11 months away from the sport, before returning to competitive play in September.

How has the Dane – one of the brightest young talents on the ATP Tour – fared since returning from his devastating physical issue?

Quentin Halys

After losing consecutive matches in Tokyo and Shanghai, Rune returned to winning ways with victory against Frenchman Quentin Halys.

The Dane survived a serving onslaught from Halys – who struck 32 aces – before securing a 6-3, 6-7, 7-6 victory in the first round of the Basel Open.

With victory, Rune set up a clash with former Wimbledon semi-finalist and 2021 Miami Open champion Hubert Hurkacz.

Rune had won their only previous contest on the ATP Tour, beating the Pole en route to winning the 2022 Paris Masters.

Hubert Hurkacz

Rune once again got the better of Hurkacz.

In what was perhaps his most impressive victory since returning from injury, Rune saved one match point before winning 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 in the Basel Open second round.

The key factor in the match was Rune’s dominance off Hurkacz’s second serve. The Dane won 75 per cent of all points off the Pole’s second serve.

Rune went on to lose to eventual champion Valentin Vacherot in the quarter-finals: 3-6, 6-3, 3-6.

Zizou Bergs

Rune has returned to the place where he suffered that terrible injury 12 months ago.

Any nervousness surrounding the occasion was swiftly dismissed by Rune, who defeated Zizou Bergs in the Stockholm Open first round.

“It’s special coming back to Stockholm after last year. I choose to concentrate on the good memories,” said Rune, who won 6-3, 6-4. “It’s such a nice court, such a nice event.”

Rune, ranked 406th in the ATP rankings, will play Miomir Kecmanovic in the second round.

Rune has a 3-1 record against Kecmanovic, last beating the Serbian player during Denmark’s match against Serbia at the 2025 Davis Cup qualifiers.

If Rune defeats Kecmanovic, he will play either Cameron Norrie or top seed Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals.

Holger Rune’s projected path to the 2026 Stockholm Open title

  • R1 – defeated Zizou Bergs 6-3, 6-4

  • R2 – Miomir Kecmanovic

  • QF – Taylor Fritz or Cameron Norrie

  • SF – Lorenzo Musetti

  • F – Casper Ruud

Rune has a 1-3 record against Norrie and a 1-2 record against Fritz.
