Talk About Tennis 2.0

I wish him the best in his recovery and sobriety.

I really disliked the comment about playing in "a cemetery" (I wrote about it). So, not that it means anything to him, but apology accepted.

Ok.
Now, do not come back until everything is in place. She will basically be out of any possible ranking worth talking about. But she is so young, she can take her time and simply come back when really ready.
Hope she will.

Her best scneario is to start her season in January during AO swing

I'm not trying to doom Emma, I hope she is able to recover from this and come back stronger. But more than a few on Tennis Reddit are calling for a closer look at the LTA and I have to agree. What the heck is the deal with all the injuries to their young players? Are they skipping important steps in their conditioning? Because it seems like it's a real problem that hasn't been addressed. They really seem to regularly hit this difficulty in their career and it is concerning.

Who are the others? Would like to know.

Laura Robson sticks out like a sore thumb obviously, but the others that come to mind are Katie Swan, Katie Boulter, Kyle Edmund, Jack Draper and Jodie Burrage.

Jodie played British WTA events on grass last season with wild cards and I personally hadn't heard of her, but she picked up some very good wins and it was like, who is this girl? Someone who had a series of injuries that have stalled her career, but who the Brits were high on and who clearly can play.

Kyle has obviously not been completely derailed by injury, but he had the injury more recently that took him out for I think close to two years and then he had several injuries when he was younger, he's had a decent number of stops and starts.


Also keep in mind that Andy Murray, Tim Henman, and Johanna Konta are largely not LTA products, receiving most of their training in Spain. Also, no idea if conditioning is part of the issue, but Andy definitely blamed the LTA for messing up Jamie's game.

Amanda Anisimova announced on her IG account that she is taking time off from tennis saying she is suffering from mental health issues and burnout.

I don't know how to manipulate IG so I just posted the gist of her announcement.

In this case, just need to post the link of it. If you don't have an IG account and are getting a sign in message when you click on the post, open the post in a separate tab and you'll be able to get it that way.

Truly feels like an end of an era if he can't go. Even though we expected it, still sad.

It is. And by now, you really have to wonder if he has the slightest chance to return in 24.
