Ana Bogdan (32 years old, the 241st WTA) announced that she will be missing for a while on the tennis courts, after being injured and playing with pain in the WTA 250 UniCredit Iași Open.
The difficult period is extended for Ana Bogdan, the one who offered during the Tournament in Iași a disturbing confession about the struggles and doubts lately. Beyond the insecurity related to mental health, she now experiences physical problems that prevent her from playing for an still indefinite time.
Former 39 WTA number has again exposed its emotions and experiences through a post on social networks, but also the desire to use this time for itself and for other projects.
Ana Bogdan: “I need several weeks outside the field”
“I was not emotionally prepared for this moment, especially after I felt and tried to go back and play again, that's why I took some time to write these words and share them with you”, She started her wide message.
“The ways of life are always unpredictable and we should live every day to the maximum because the moments we live today may not be able to live again tomorrow.
I was injured at my knees and ankle during a workout just before the tournament and I played in Iasi with pain in both. These are things that only my team knew, because to play at home it always seemed different and I always play with my heart there. I thought it was not too serious but after MRI it seems to be and I need several weeks outside the ground“She continued.
I do not know when I will return to the place I used to call “home”. The last year and a half was a big challenge for me on the ground and outside it and I feel that being strong is no longer my mantra, but instead of being milder and better with myself – it is – Ana Bogdan

Ana Bogdan: “I will do things that bring joy and peace to my soul”
“I don't see life as a struggle. I don't see life as a fight. Life is not. Life is the joy of being and to co-cure with the universe.
The more we deepen our connection with ourselves, the more we discover what we are actually made and who we really are. Sometimes you just have to let your life be, let your life happen in its divine time and let things align for your highest.
I will take time to recover physically, but I will use this time for myself, I will do things that bring joy and peace to my soul, I will create and be part of different and beautiful projects. We will see ourselves here!
With much love, Ana ”
