"I'm exhausted"
Anxiety and panic attacks: Garica takes a break
Former world number four Caroline Garcia has declared her tennis season over due to anxiety and panic attacks. She now wants to get mentally and physically ready for 2025, the 30-year-old tennis player wrote on X.
Garcia won the WTA Finals in 2022 and also reached the semi-finals of the US Open that year. This year, she has never made it past the second round of a Grand Slam singles tournament.
"Exhausted from anxiety"
She needs a mental "reset", Garcia wrote. "I'm exhausted from the anxiety, the panic attacks, the tears before the matches." She said she was tired of living in a world "where my worth is measured by last week's results, my ranking or my unforced errors".
In her mind, she was fixated on what she had not achieved. "I never made it to first place, never won a Slam, never reached an Olympic podium. I was inconsistent, unable to stay in the top ten for a whole year," said the Frenchwoman. Garcia is currently ranked 36th in the world.
