Off the back of one of the best weeks of his tennis career, Dusan Lajovic admitted to battling with depression, anxiety and OCD and taking steps to get out of that cycle.
Lajovic sealed Srpska Open Banja Luka defeating Novak Djokovic and Andrey Rublev en route and spoke to CLAY magazine for a feature saying that he has put the work in off court so it doesn't affect him on it.

“I got into a loop of being mentally in a bad place. I had depressing feelings, anxiety and OCD. I’m finally staring to get on my feet again," Lajovic said.
"I’m working a lot now in psychotherapy. I started a couple of months ago because I’ve been dealing with a lot lately, like anxiety, OCD, and depressing feelings. That influenced a lot when I was on the court. In tennis, you need to fix all the things to perform well. I’m trying to improve myself," he continued.
