Three-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist Holger ​Rune will return to action ‌at next month’s Hamburg ​Open after ⁠having Achilles surgery in October, tournament organisers said on ‌Thursday.

Rune suffered the season-ending Achilles tendon rupture ‌in the Stockholm ‌Open ⁠semifinals when he ⁠was up a set against Ugo Humbert. Days later, he ​returned to ‌the top 10 in the world rankings despite losing out on ‌a second title of ​the year.

“The hard work starts in Hamburg. ⁠I can’t wait to be back on ‌clay at the Bitpanda Hamburg Open and to finally experience the atmosphere on site again after such a ‌long break,” the 22-year-old Dane ​said in a statement.

The Hamburg Open starts ⁠on May 16, with ⁠Germany’s world number three Alexander Zverev also ‌taking part, organisers said.
