Holger Rune continues his rehabilitation. The Dane, victim of a ruptured left Achilles tendon on October 21 in Stockholm, Sweden, spoke about this subject to The Team. The player, now 22 years old and down to 15th place in the world, wanted to be reassuring, even if his rehabilitation still promises to be long and no return date has been officially set: “I feel good. It’s been almost ten weeks since I had the operation and I’m walking almost normally again.”
Before then adding: “I do a lot of strengthening for my tendon, a lot of exercises to strengthen it and speed up healing. I was patient. I haven’t had a relapse so far and I hope there won’t be one, but I think we’ve organized my schedule really well. Our days, training management, load management and what we did to recover and heal… We did everything to ensure that I recovered as quickly as possible. (…)”
Rune: “The day after the operation, I was at the gym!”
Only ten days after his operation, Holger Rune found himself on a tennis court, with his left leg extended, his foot in a cast and placed on a cushion: “I was already very active before that: the day after the operation, I was at the gym! Going to the court was to have fun because I love playing tennis. But it was also very beneficial for my shoulder. If I don’t play for two or three months, when I resume, I will be extremely rigid and this may create other small problems, such as additional shoulder pain.”
The Dane also said: “I really tried to play once or twice a week to keep my shoulder and arm in good condition. I also took the opportunity to work on some technical aspects, but the most important thing was to have a good time, activate the shoulder and keep rhythm in the arm.”
