Sara Sorribes Tormo Announces Indefinite Break from Tennis

Sara Sorribes Tormo from Spain has announced that she will be stepping away from tennis indefinitely. The decision comes after months of mental and physical challenges that she has faced in her athletic career, especially after her success in winning the doubles bronze at the Paris Olympics last year.

In an Instagram post, Sorribes Tormo revealed the disparity between her cheerful exterior off the court and the struggles she has been enduring internally. She admitted to feeling a lack of enthusiasm for training, competing, and participating in tournaments, indicating that the hardships she has experienced in her professional life have outweighed the pleasant moments.

Despite recently winning her sixth doubles title alongside fellow player Cristina Bucsa in Bogota and successful appearances in earlier matches, Sorribes Tormo emphasized the importance of focusing on her well-being. At the age of 28, she remains uncertain whether her break will last indefinitely or if she'll return to the sport, stressing the need to listen to her body's signals and prioritize self-care during this time.
