"Holger, you will come back stronger." This message signed by Alexander Bublik hides a real cry of alarm. The Kazakhstani player is calling for urgent changes to protect players from a tour that has become too demanding.

Holger Rune's serious injury in Stockholm has made an impression on the ATP tour. The Dane, who suffered an Achilles tendon rupture during his semifinal against Ugo Humbert, will need surgery next week and could miss the entire 2026 season.

These powerful images prompted reactions from several players like Jack Draper, Taylor Fritz, and Alexander Bublik. The Kazakhstani player, ranked 16th in the world, called out the ATP on his Instagram account:

"We need changes in our schedule. Holger, you will come back stronger."

It remains to be seen whether the ATP will break its silence in the coming days.
