Tennis players discuss mental health issues raised by Osaka

The Associated Pressplayer to withdraw during a Grand Slam tournament because of mental health concerns — and she likely won’t be the last. Others just might not always be as up-front as Osaka was.

There aren't teammates to rely on. There aren't days off for “load management.” Players can't even get in-match coaching at most tournaments. Osaka, 23, has won four Grand Slam titles, been ranked No. 1 and is the world’s highest-earning female athlete. At Wimbledon, and most tournaments, the WTA provides an on-site clinician so players can request 30- or 60-minute sessions. Also offered any day, any time: video or phone conversations.

“There’s a lot of pressure. I felt it when I was No. 20 in the world. I felt it when I broke my ankle and came back and I had points to defend and people expected me to have the same results as before and I wasn’t,” said Mihaela Buzarnescu, a 33-year-old player from Romania who has a Ph.D. “I was depressed. When ... my ranking went in one week from 55 to 135, I wasn’t able to go out of the hotel room for a couple of days.

Poor, poor tennis players. This is what most people making 100k go through as normal life. Lots of people go hungry if they decide they can't go to work today.

Oh gosh 🙄

Please do not come to Japan.
