On April 17, Sara Sorribes Tormo, 28 and 109th in the world, announced to take an indefinite break in his career. Two weeks after her defeat against Selena Janicijevic in the first round of the Bogota tournament, the Spanish player had confirmed that she lost the desire and the joy of training, and that she did not yet know if she was going to come back to the circuit.
Vice-president of the Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET), Anabel Medina Garrigues, a former professional player who retired in 2016, reacted to the announcement of Sorribes Tormo, and hopes that she will return very soon to the circuit.
“I have been surprised because Sara has always been a girl who has shown a lot of love for tennis and it shows that sometimes sport is very demanding and even if you have this passion, there are times when, mentally, it becomes very difficult to manage.
I was surprised that she decides to stop because she always gave herself 100%, she always worked with joy and with a smile on his lips. The fact that this affected it in this way shows that it really goes through a difficult period, but I hope it is a break and not a farewell.
I hope this wholeheartedly because she loves tennis so much, and I think precisely that she will again have the love of this sport one day, ”she assured for Mundo Deportivo.
