Elina Svitolina has started a campaign for better mental health protection of junior players on the international tennis circuit. Former No.3-ranked Svitolina is facing tough struggles to achieve success in her tennis career. Svitolina, 27, said that there were difficult moments in my career (at a young age). You travel alone, with only your coach. When you're traveling for so many weeks each year, it's going to be a huge challenge.
Elina Svitolina has said that you lose something every week. So it is becoming really difficult mentally to handle it. So it's a good idea to have juniors get psychologists in the tennis circuit. That's the right way. Travels become very difficult. The expectations of the media, parents, coaches are with you. Svitolina has said that juggling at a very young age is going to affect her emotional development and personality.
Svitolina has said that definitely something changes in your mental life. You are going more downhill, you are like a sad person. You miss your friends, you miss your family. You are also packing to move to another city the next day. Svitolina has said – There are many things that people do not see, do not know what has started happening to the young player and what phase they are going through. It took me many years to find a good person with whom I can share (things). If reports are to be believed, Svitolina married French player Gael Monfils in July last year.
