Mental health in tennis is an increasingly important issue that players are trying to discuss more openly. The latest to do so is Emil Ruusuvuori, who wanted to share in detail the problems he has been facing for a long time. The former world number 37 in 2023 has been struggling lately and even took a complete break from tennis for months.

Without any significant injuries, his mental health seemed to be the main reason. He explained that his issues involve recurring panic attacks that have been going on for four years, escalating in 2024, leading him to be away from the court for four and a half months. As he strives to regain enjoyment in competition, the Finn is experiencing new episodes of this problem, like the one last week in South Korea.

Just watched emil’s video in which he opens up abt having had panic attacks (both on & off court) for the past 4y, resulting in taking his long break last year; he simply couldn’t go on court 🥺

So incredibly proud of him for speaking up, my heart broke a little reading it 💔 pic.twitter.com/J5ccB1xD6o
