Holger Rune: mom explains contested withdrawal

It has been a difficult few months for Holger Rune, struggling with several physical problems that are stunting his growth. The Danish tennis player è withdrew during the semifinals of the Montpellier tournament against Borna Coric: a decision that sparked the anger of the fans present, but well motivated, as mom-agent Aneke revealed.

"He already had forearm pain on Friday, and we had decided that if it recurred and could not be managed with treatment, he would have to stop. È inflammation is present and he needs rest. One should never underestimate certain signs", he told TV2.

Leaving amid booing from the French public, Rune hopes to get back on his feet in the coming weeks after a difficult period.

The 20-year-olda has once again changed coaches: after the immediate farewell to Severin Luthi, he è now relies on Kenneth Carlsen, hoping to get back on the right track. Rune è is currently seventh in the Atp rankings.
