Players' mental health is in focus as the U.S. Open kicks off Monday, after four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka led the charge for her fellow athletes this year.
The 23-year-old withdrew from the French Open after being fined and threatened with expulsion for refusing to attend media conferences, which she said had an adverse impact on her mental health, and disclosed she had suffered from depression for years.
"Really promoting a well-rounded person who is multifaceted, not just an athlete... I think is really critical in the therapeutic process." At Flushing Meadows this week, world number two Aryna Sabalenka told reporters working with a psychologist had paid dividends on and off the court. "Knowing that I have someone who's going to help me whenever I need it... it's definitely help," she said. "One time at night I couldn't sleep because I was overthinking about everything. I just call her and I spoke with her... After that I felt much better."
