Mental health has developed popularity in the world of sport in general and tennis specifically. There are many numbers that have confined periods of deep depression, the difficulty of dealing with the pressure of competing, being in the world shows or dealing with their own requests, expectations that are sometimes met and many, no.
One of the most brutal confessions in tennis came from the hand of Argentine Fede Gómezat 28 years old 135 of the world. For 2024 he won three ATP Challengers contests, in Milan, Trieste and Guayaquil. He stood in the rank of 181 to 137, after leaving the top-300 for a few weeks. However, sporting success does not match personal happiness.
“It may have been taken a lot but 2024 is undoubtedly the best year of my tennis career, but in fact, the worst year in terms of personal, and in the last time it has been no exception. The last 6 months has become one of the hardest things I need to live as a person. Living with the thoughts of leaving tennis completely, of really asking if it is all right,” he said in his open message.
“The sport gave me everything and removed many other things.
It is so bad that they have appeared “even with repeated thoughts of suicide that do not want to survive and leave this world, which I am very difficult to express but I want them to know so that they can understand the actions or behavior that I may have in the last time and aim to explain it a bit.”
He chose for personal therapy, to share his sensations. “I hope that after opening a little (something worth me) I can feel a little of myself and live a little more in the peace of doing what I want is playing tennis.”
A condolence that puts the hair, which has moved a lot. He also shakes the Spanish Paula badosa.
Badosa replied Fede Gómez: “It hurts to hear these words, where I look so reflecting. (…) You are brave. Remember: the storm will not last forever, the sun always ends, and when you are, you will be stronger than ever before.”
“As I said before, it formed a big pain to open this way but I felt the need to tell them a little bit of my situation. I was still looking for my best version. I was going to work to find the emotional well that I felt.
On the track he lost his last five games, fighting the constant thankless previous stages of ATP tournaments.
