Rafael Nadal, Jannik Sinner and Boris Becker have all sent messages of support to Holger Rune after the Danish star\u2019s horror injury at the Stockholm Open.<\/p>\n

Rune<\/a> was brought to tears and had to be helped off the court after suffering an Achilles injury when leading 6-4, 2-2 in his semi-final match against Ugo Humbert in Stockholm last week.<\/p>\n

The world No 10 revealed the severity of the injury afterwards and confirmed that he was set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gonna be a while before I can step on court again,\u201d Rune wrote on Instagram. \u201cIt\u2019s tough. I had so much joy on court in Stockholm and it\u2019s unbearable to think that I will not feel this energy for some time now.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy Achilles is full broken on the proximal part meaning I need operation already next week and from here rehabilitation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old revealed on Tuesday that the surgery had been successful as he shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed wearing a large boot on his left leg.<\/p>\n

A post shared by Holger Vitus N\u00f8dskov Rune (@holgerrune)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHi everyone. Surgery went really well today. Thank you for all your incredible messages and support \"\u2764\" I will keep you updated on my recovery. But now rest and heal,\u201d Rune captioned the Instagram post.<\/p>\n

Casper Ruud, who went on to triumph in Stockholm, gave his reaction to Rune\u2019s injury during the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly hard to hear. It looked really bad, and I know he\u2019s going to be tested tomorrow, but I\u2019ve also heard that he heard a distinct sound, which is a really bad sign,\u201d Ruud told SpilXperten<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis type of injury is something you really can\u2019t control, so it\u2019s just extremely unfortunate. Tennis is a brutal sport, and as a player, you don\u2019t want to miss several months.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s still very young, so he has a long career ahead of him, so I hope he can come back strong quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
