The 2025 season has been long for Daria Kasatkina, so long that the Australian has decided to finish her season this Monday and wait until next year to compete again. A decision marked by the mental suffering she has been enduring for months.

We don't like having to give this type of news, but it is the best reflection of what it means to be a professional tennis player today. Daria Kasatkina, one of those players who rarely holds back, has once again shown her courage through a statement where she explains the mental collapse she had been experiencing in recent months. An issue impossible to cure amidst airplanes and airports, hence her decision to cut ties and conclude her 2025 season. Below is the text that Dasha herself has shared on her social media.

- Daria Kasatkina ends her 2025 season and explains the reasons

'I'm fine' are words that surely all of us have heard from some women in different areas of life, even knowing that they are not okay, that they are far from being okay, but they continue, breaking a little more each day.

This is me, 2025 has been my year of 'I'm fine'. I have been far from okay for a long time and, to be honest, my results and performances prove it. Fans are not stupid, they can see it too. I have kept my feelings secret because I don't want to seem like I'm complaining, that I'm weak, or, God forbid, that I'm ungrateful and do not appreciate this incredible life we live as professional tennis players.

The truth is I have hit a wall and I can't go on. I need a break. A break from the monotonous daily routine that the circuit entails, with the suitcases, the results, the pressure, the same faces (sorry, girls), and everything that comes with this industry. The schedule is too much, mentally and emotionally I find myself on the brink of collapse and, unfortunately, I'm not alone.

If we add to this the emotional and mental stress related to my change of nationality, or not being able to see my parents (I haven't seen my father in 4 years), in addition to the constant battles to obtain full eligibility to compete for Australia, it's a lot for me. There is a limit to everything I can handle and endure as an individual woman, while still competing with the best female athletes in the world.

If this weakens me, so be it, I'm weak. However, I know I am strong and I will grow stronger being away, recharging energy, regrouping, and revitalizing. It's time to listen to myself to change my mind, my heart, and my body.

2025 has ended for me and, like me, it has been far from good...

So I join the club of those who give up in 2025. I will be fine, hope to see you all in 2026, energized and ready to rock!
