World No. 83 Lorenzo Musetti revealed he talks to a therapist weekly and admitted his mental health has improved since he started to work with a professional.
Mental health is somewhat of a taboo topic even in the 21st century as most people associate it with deeply troubling behaviour. For the longest time in human history, psychological help was reserved for severe cases of mental health issues prompting many to avoid even talking about it. A very welcome shift came in the 21st century with many high profile people speaking about their own issues.
Once of them is Lorenzo Musetti who admitted openly to still talking with a psychologist weekly:
"In my difficult months, I started a path with a psychologist. I found myself well and still I talk with him weekly, at the end of each tournament. I didn’t believe it before, but it helped me get through the difficulties, on and off the court."
Musetti, 20, enjoyed a breakout season in 2021 and he was just a set away from stunning world No. 1 Novak Djokovic at the French Open. Musetti is one of the most promising players on the ATP Tour and he is hoping to get himself a solid fanbase.
