J.J. Spaun Touches Hearts After Revealing CVS Rush for Daughter’s Health Battles Before Emotional Win

Published

on

Oh, what a week it has been! From seeing the greats of Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler struggling to find form to a defending champion missing the cut, the U.S. Open concluded on Sunday to add a new name to the major championships winners’ circle. J.J. Spaun fought against Adam ScottRobert MacIntyre, and Sam Burns to claim his first major victory. “I never thought I would be here holding this trophy. I’ve always had aspirations and dreams, but a few months ago I didn’t know what my ceiling was and how good I could be,” Spaun said. But what made the victory even sweeter was that it coincided with Father’s Day, and Spaun left no stone unturned to perform his fatherly duties diligently, even just a few hours before his round.

The final day at Oakmont was quite chaotic, given that the torrential rains had flooded the course and caused significant delays. Spaun, who started the week with a brilliant 66 on the first day, fell short on the second when he carded a score of 2-over par. While he tried to do his best on the third day, with a 69, it was only on the final few holes of the fourth round that he turned things around. He started the day seven off the lead and made five bogeys in the first 6 holes. But four birdies on the back nine, including a 64-foot birdie putt to win, earned him the title. But the win did not come as easy as it sounds.

Just a few hours before he teed off on Sunday, Spaun had to wake up at 3 am because one of his two daughters, Violet, had a stomach bug and was vomiting all night. So Spaun had to make a CVS run in the wee hours of dawn to make sure his daughter was given the right treatment immediately. “Today I was running to CVS in downtown because my daughter had a stomach bug and was vomiting all night long. I was just like, okay, my wife was up at 3:00 a.m., and she’s like, Violet is vomiting all over. She can’t keep anything down…,” Spaun told the media post his win.

And while he doesn’t blame the chaos start for his consecutive bogeys at the start, he did add that it was a rough start to the day—”It was kind of a rough start to the morning. I’m not blaming that on my start, but it kind of fit the mold of what was going on, the chaos. I don’t think I had any—I didn’t really—like when I go back home after the round, my kids are there, and it’s such a big distraction that I’m not even having to dwell on anything or think too much, which is a good thing.”

While players must receive as much rest as they can before every round, Spaun was clear about his priorities, and nothing comes before his family. And it is exactly this attitude of his that won hearts on the internet, and everyone has a new favourite major champion.

Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.

We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.

Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.

Tennis fans across the globe are rallying behind Holger Rune, after the Danish star shared an emotional but determined message following his devastating Achilles injury that abruptly ended his 2025 season.

The 22-year-old, known for his fierce competitiveness and electric energy on court, was forced to retire during the Stockholm Open semifinals after collapsing in pain mid-match against Ugo Humbert. Moments later, Rune confirmed what fans feared — a torn Achilles tendon, one of the toughest injuries any athlete can face.

But instead of silence or despair, Rune chose to face the challenge head-on. In a heartfelt message posted to social media, he wrote:

“It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again… It’s tough. I had so much joy out there, and it’s unbearable to think I won’t feel that energy for some time. But I’ll be back — stronger, wiser, and more grateful than ever.”

His words, filled with pain yet overflowing with resilience, immediately resonated with millions. Fellow players, coaches, and fans flooded his post with encouragement, calling him a “fighter”, a “true champion in spirit”, and the embodiment of perseverance.

Rune has already undergone successful surgery and, in a move that stunned many, shared photos of himself training from a seated position — refusing to let recovery stop his momentum. The images showed a young man focused not on what he’s lost, but on what he can rebuild.

Even as he faces months of rehabilitation, Rune’s story has become a symbol of mental toughness and grace under pressure. His family and team remain by his side, reminding the tennis world that this setback doesn’t define his career — it refines it.

As one fan beautifully wrote:

“He may be off the court, but his spirit is still winning matches.”

For Holger Rune, this isn’t the end of a season — it’s the start of a comeback story that could inspire a generation. 💥🔥
