Holger Rune<\/a> cut a distressed figure as he was assisted off court by the physio from his semi-final at the BNP Paribas Nordic Open<\/a> in Stockholm on Saturday.<\/p>\n The Dane led Ugo Humbert<\/a> 6-4, 2-2 when he felt a sharp pain in his left leg and was forced to retire after one hour, 23 minutes.<\/p>\n After pulling up, Rune instantly glanced his box with a disconcerted look and teared up while receiving treatment. However, he was unable to continue and was assisted off court.<\/p>\n Rune captured the Stockholm title in 2022 and appeared to be nearing a sixth consecutive Lexus ATP Head2Head win over Humbert. The Frenchman awaits Casper Ruud<\/a> or Denis Shapovalov<\/a> in Sunday\u2019s final.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was not the way I wanted to win,\u201d said Humbert. \u201cI\u2019m super disappointed for Holger, I hope he is going to be okay. I wish him a speedy recovery. It was a great match. He was playing a little bit better than me, but I\u2019m really sorry for Holger.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch Highlights: Humbert advances to Stockholm final<\/p>\n
