About issues she was partially forced to address due to judgements, opinions and theories on social media as well main stream media scrutiny (who in my opinion blew things out of proportion).
Nonetheless it's good to see Iga defending herself.
It's quite insightful, and a real reminder of just how much she has been through these past several months.
I have always appreciated her candidness, being an introvert myself I know how hard it can be to share deeply personal things with friends much less with the whole world.
It's interesting she brings up losing the world #1 ranking I've always had my suspicious about that meaning a whole lot to her than she often let on.
Which she pretty much confirmed when she got it back from Sabalenka at the end of 2023.
Not having the chance to defend it at the end of 2024 due to circumstances beyond her control (with the doping ban) clearly hurt a lot. And understandably so.
When you're a perfectionist like she is with her own high standards and expectations it can be even harder to let go of things or get used to a new status quo.
It's really no wonder she's having a hard time mentally at the moment it is a lot deal with for any average person much less a global athlete.
It's actually been a bit tough for me to watch her since the Aussie Open ended. Its been tough seeing her so negative and angry and upset with herself and the people around her.
But it's in hard times that you always need support the most, so as her fan I will continue to support her and believe in her in good times and bad
I just hope that fans and people around her give her the support and understanding she needs to work on things.
