"If he felt it in battle, he should stop": Elbow injury retirement plan was already decided for Holger Rune ahead of Coric loss

Denmark’s tennis star Holger Rune’s mother Aneke has stated that her son decided to withdraw from the Open Sud De France because of a pre-decided plan.
The 20-year-old had to retire in the semifinal of the ongoing ATP 250 event against Borna Coric on Saturday. After the match, Rune posted a message on his social media platform ‘Health First’ citing that his decision was purely based on his recent fitness struggles.

Rune’s mother Anke was recently quoted in a report where she stated that her son followed the plan which was in place after consultation with the coaching staff who advised him to retire from the competition if he felt further pain in his elbow.
"His elbow/forearm was already sore yesterday (Friday) and the agreement was that if he felt it in the elbow in battle, and it did not relieve by treating the muscle, he should stop,” he said. "There is some irritation that clearly needs to be calmed down with some rest. Of course, you have to take your body’s signals seriously."
The recent development will be a setback for Rune who was coming into this event on the back of a disappointing Australian Open where he was knocked out after losing in the second round to Arthur Cazaux with a score of 7-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
