Alexander Zverev publicly revealed that he feels alone and has mental problems
Zverev has revealed that, in addition to the diabetes he has managed since childhood, he faces mental problems in the last 6 months. He said that he feels alone lately and that he has no joy in anything, things that clearly affect his game. In addition, the German takes into account specialized help, from a psychologist, to reach the waterline again.
“Sometimes I feel very alone on the field. I have mental problems and I feel like that after after Australian Open (no when he clearly lost the final with Sinner). I try to find ways to get out of this phase, but you continue to fall.
It's not about tennis, I feel lonely in life generally now and that's not nice.
I am struggling to find joy outside the ground but I feel very, very lonely. I haven't experienced something like that before. My problem is not tennis now, but to find joy.
Even when I win, I do not feel that happiness and motivation to continue. I go to bed without any motivation to wake up the next day. I think many people, regardless of their job, have had this feeling at some point. For an elite athlete, it is clearly reflected in its performance.
I thought about this (the number of going to the psychologist). Maybe yes, it is possible that for the first time in my life I need it. I went through many difficulties throughout my personal and professional career, but I have never felt as empty as now. I lost my joy in everything I do, “said Alexander Zverev, according to Eurosport.ro.
