Denmark’s tennis star Holger Rune has been ruled out of the Croatian Open after falling sick.
The 20-year-old is currently playing in the Hopman Cup in Nice, France where his performances have been not up to the mark.
As per some latest reports, the primary reason for that is that Rune, despite taking part in the competition, is not well.
It is because of this reason the current world number six will not take part in the upcoming competition in Umag.
The report further stated that this decision was also backed by his mother who remained extremely influential in his decision-making.
The development will be a blow for Rune as he has not been performing that well in the recent past.
In the recently concluded Wimbledon 2023, the Gentofte-born suffered a defeat against current world number one Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinal in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Before that, he was also knocked out in the quarterfinal of the French Open after losing to Norway’s Casper Ruud with a score of 6-1, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.
In the Australian Open, Rune exited the competition in the fourth round after suffering a defeat against Russia’s Andrey Rublev in a five-set thriller with a score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6.
21 - Two men's players below the age of 21 (Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune) will feature in the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon for the first time since 2004 when Florian Mayer and Mario Ancic made the quarterfinals. Future. #Wimbledon | @Wimbledon @atptour @ATPMediaInfo
