Becker as pastor
Explosive! Tennis ace openly confesses his death wish
Argentinian tennis pro Federico Agustín Gómez has opened up about his severe mental health problems and occasional suicidal thoughts!
The past six months have been some of the hardest he has experienced as a person, the 28-year-old wrote on Instagram. He has considered whether he should stop playing tennis and has also been plagued by thoughts of taking his own life.
"It's very difficult for me to write all this without crying, but I think it's the best decision I could make at this moment to remove this huge burden I feel that eats my thoughts 24/7," wrote the world number 135.
Boris Becker publicly offers help
He is not going public with this because of a "search for a minute of fame", the tennis player assured. He hopes that he can now "live a little more in peace with what I do, what I love, namely playing tennis". He will work on regaining his emotional well-being, the pro announced at the end of his message.
There was support for Agustín Gómez from fans and protagonists of the tennis scene. German tennis icon Boris Becker wrote to the Argentinian on the X platform: "God bless Federico! If I can help in any way, contact me via Instagram!"
