“Hello to everyone. I wanted to tell you that I decided to take a little time for myself. Time for yourself, for the head and for the body.

I have been suffering from a tennis court for many months. The Sarah, which everyone sees happy and cheerful outside the court is not the one I have inside. I lost my motivation for training, to progress, to travel to tournaments.

The moments of suffering are now much greater than the moments of rest. And it happens to a person who has always liked to work, develop and compete. Therefore, in addition to the fact that I need help, I feel like I need to stop (rest). I do not know whether it is temporary forever, ”Sarah Sararibes-Termo wrote on a postcard, a photo of which she posted on social networks.
