Author of the worst season of his career, the former 18e world then made a more precise assessment on Instagram of this catastrophic year while giving an appointment to its fans and detractors in 2025.
“This 2024 season has been the hardest season in my entire career… a lot of injuries, doubts about my physique, my mental capacity to continue without being 100% every day… I asked myself a lot of questions but this Asian tour gave me a lot of answers. When I am physically well, I am still capable of doing great things and even if I did not have very good results, I felt that in 3 weeks I made enormous progress and I found pleasure again. to train and repeat my efforts on a court. So it will take time to come back but I will do it… Thank you to all the people who support me and who are with me in these difficult times but for you and for me I will get there!! PS: sorry for the angry people, the jealous people, the punters, you will still send me insulting messages, death threats for a year…”
