Transcript

00:00I feel very alone out there at times I struggle mentally I've been saying that I've struggled since

00:08after the Australian Open trying to find ways to kind of get out of this hole but I keep kind of

00:13finding myself back in it in a way and I feel generally speaking quite alone in life at the

00:18moment which which is a feeling that is not very nice it's not a feeling on a tennis court it's

00:24just a life feeling in general as I said I never felt this way before it's difficult to

00:29find joy outside of tennis court for me at the moment it's not an excuse or anything I think

00:33Arthur deserved to win today and it's nothing that but it's just something that I felt for for the

00:39past few months it's funny that I say that because I lost first round but I don't think tennis is the

00:43problem right now for me it's something else that I have to find within me at the moment it's difficult

00:48for me to tell you because I don't have the answers right now how are you going to address these

00:52feelings I don't know whether you talk therapy or not or whatever maybe maybe for the first time in

00:58my life I probably need it I've been through a lot of difficulties I've been through a lot of

01:01difficulties in the media I've been through a lot of difficulties in life generally I've never felt

01:10this empty before which is just lacking joy just lacking joy in everything that I do and it's not

01:17necessarily about tennis just lacking joy outside of tennis as well or even when I'm winning matches

01:21like in Stuttgart or Halle it's not necessarily like a feeling that I used to get where I was happy over the

01:27moon I felt motivated to to keep going it's just it's not there right now for me
