--><\/p>\n<p>Holger Rune\u2019s return to the ATP Tour has not gone to plan so far, with the Dane losing his first two matches at the China Open and the Shanghai Masters.<\/p>\n<p>Rune spent 11 months out of action after suffering an ACL injury at the Stockholm Open last October.<\/p>\n<p>He returned to action at the Davis Cup, where he picked up two victories against Grigor Dimitrov and Illyan Radulov for Denmark against Bulgaria.<\/p>\n<p>However, the star has been beaten in the first round of the China Open and the Shanghai Masters since, to Kyrian Jacquet and Daniel Altmaier, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-holger-rune-early-shanghai-masters-exit\">Alcaraz has told Rune to be patient with his comeback<\/a> and now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Novak Djokovic<\/a> has shared some advice with the star once ranked as high as world No 4 on the <a

will \u2018reach out\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-fitness-update-shanghai-masters\">Carlos Alcaraz offers fitness update ahead of first match at the Shanghai Masters<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the Shanghai Masters, Djokovic said: \u201cYeah, I\u2019m very, very happy that he\u2019s back. I like Holger and I also like playing him. We always have the great battles really.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve watched the highlights of that that match where he got injured and what happened and the replay of that and it was it was horrible to watch honestly. I\u2019ve been in touch with him several times while he was absent from the Tour and we went back and forth on different topics and, of course, I\u2019ve been keeping track on his return and I was very glad that he was able to come back and make his comeback at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Davis-Cup\">Davis Cup<\/a> in his country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that was very nice. I saw I saw that last night he had a tough tough battle and tough loss. But you know it will take some time I guess. It\u2019s really relative and it\u2019s very individual, you know, and his injury is one of the worst injuries that you could have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took him away for a year almost. So, the match play is completely different than any practice sets or practice competition that you\u2019re getting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, it\u2019s really difficult to compare, you know, because the nerves kick in and then, you know, you have your score being cold and then all of a sudden every shot, every point matters and you\u2019re, you know, afraid to miss and then you get tense and stressed and that affects the whole game, right?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, um, he just needs to get more matches more matches going and I hope that he is he\u2019s going to find his his best game very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rune currently sits at outside the top 1200 following his absence and return matches, but he remains upbeat he can turn his fortunes around.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his defeat to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/daniel-altmaier\">Altmaier<\/a>, Rune said: \u201cWon 53% of the points, but not the one that mattered the most\u2026 and Altmaier played well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot was way better in this match than in my last, so definitely on the right track. I keep working. Step by step. See you soon on court again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Holger-Rune\">Rune<\/a> will next be in action at the Swiss Indoors, which begins on the 24th October.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic suggests what Holger Rune must now do after coming back from injury Liam McMillen 08 Oct 2026 5:00 PM Novak Djokovic at the China Open with an inset of Holger Rune.
