Carlos Alcaraz tells Holger Rune what he needs to do after losing another match following his return from injury

Carlos Alcaraz recently shared words of encouragement with fellow competitor Holger Rune following another opening-round defeat during his ongoing recovery from an Achilles rupture sustained at the Stockholm Open. Having navigated his own lengthy absence earlier in the year due to a wrist problem, Alcaraz stressed that regaining competitive timing demands considerable patience and perseverance on the court.

Despite struggling to secure a victory since returning to action at the Davis Cup and bowing out early at the Shanghai Masters, Rune prepares to close out his schedule across upcoming indoor hard-court events in Basel, Paris, and Stockholm. He aims to draw motivation from past achievements at these specific stops, which include lifting the trophy in Paris and Stockholm alongside a runner-up finish at the Swiss Indoors back in 2022.
