Sara Sorribes has had enough. The Spanish tennis player, ranked 85th in singles and 40th in doubles, has decided to pause her career temporarily for mental health reasons. In an open letter on her Instagram account, Sara shares that she has been suffering on the court for months and needs to take a break to regain her enthusiasm and motivation.

Sara Sorribes' Letter

“Hello everyone, I wanted to tell you that I have decided to take some time off. Time for myself, for my mind, and for my body. I have been struggling for many months on a tennis court. The cheerful and happy Sara seen off the court is far from the reality of what I carry inside.

I have lost the desire to train, to improve, and even to go to tournaments. Moments of suffering outnumber moments of peace by far. This comes from a person who has always loved to work, improve, and compete. That's why, besides needing help, I feel the need to stop/rest. I don't know if it will be permanent or temporary.

I want to be consistent and true to what my body feels.

See you.

Sara”.

The Spanish player shared this post with her followers, along with a song by Leiva called ‘Caída libre’, dedicated to a friend of the singer who was experiencing mental health issues. Coming from Castellón, she had just competed for Spain in the Billie Jean King Cup and won a bronze medal at the recent Paris Olympic Games alongside Cristina Bucsa. At 28 years old, it remains uncertain whether this break will be temporary or permanent, but Sara has decided to listen to her body and not be guided by the highway without stops that life often turns into, obliging you to move in a direction you may not want to.

She displayed great courage in opening up this way and sharing her struggles, showing the world that something is not right and that she needs time to heal. Mental health issues are as important as physical ones, also requiring a pause to recover. Hopefully, she takes the necessary time to leave these problems behind and find the motivation and happiness in what she loves most: playing tennis.
