The Dane, who injured his Achilles tendon, responds to a user on

January 28 – 2.46pm – MILAN

Holger Rune intervened in defense of Lorenzo Musetti from attacks via social media, who well understands all the physical pain and more that the Tuscan is experiencing at the moment. The Dane, former top five, who injured his Achilles tendon during the semi-final of the ATP 250 in Stockholm, responded to an “Musetti gives up too easily. He doesn’t fight. I might sound harsh, but every player has a little problem here and there, a quarter-final of a grand slam where you’re 2-0 up is a situation where you should try to fight and get treatment. He gave up easily, many times he does. He’s not a fighter,” wrote one user on X.

Below came the defense of Runes: “Look what happened to me when I forced myself with a first degree injury to my leg… it cost me more time away from tennis than ever before. Yes, we want to fight at all costs and even with pain, but I perfectly understand Musetti’s choice to listen to his body”, wrote the Dane, who is working very hard to return to the court as soon as possible from one of the worst injuries that can happen to a player. The former world number 5 is already making giant strides, so much so that he has already started hitting with the racket, dribbling and starting to do little things. Many messages in support of Rune and Musetti from the world of social media and beyond.
