Holger Rune withdrew from the Paris Olympics on Wednesday due to a wrist injury.
“I am really sorry that I will be unable to play the Olympics. It's something I've been looking forward to playing and being a part of,” Rune wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I have played with pain in my wrist throughout both the clay and grass seasons, so I have to take the medical recommendations seriously.
“I will follow the Olympics from home and cheer on all the Danish athletes and I hope and believe that we can bring home many medals from Paris. Come on Denmark”

The 21-year-old competed last week in Hamburg, where he retired from his quarter-final match against eventual champion Arthur Fils while trailing 4-6, 1-4.
