Sabalenka Tells Zverev To Talk Mental Health With Family: 'Been Through A Lot'
Last Updated: Aryna Sabalenka advised Alexander Zverev to discuss his mental health with family after he had said he was feeling lonely after his Wimbledon loss. World number one Aryna Sabalenka has advised Alexander Zverev to discuss his mental health issues with his family before they overwhelm him. German world number three Zverev recently shared his struggles, expressing feelings of 'loneliness" and 'emptiness" following his unexpected first-round defeat at Wimbledon against France's Arthur Rinderknech on Tuesday. 'Maybe for the first time in my life I'll probably need it," the 28-year-old told reporters when asked if he would see a therapist to help with his problems. 'I've been through a lot of difficulties. I've never felt this empty before. Just lacking joy in everything that I do. It's not necessarily about tennis. Just lacking joy outside of tennis, as well." The three-time Grand Slam finalist's plea for help elicited a compassionate response from top-seeded women's player Sabalenka. After her Wimbledon second-round win against Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic on Wednesday, the Belarusian revealed she previously sought help from a therapist before deciding it was more beneficial to share her struggles with her family. Reigning US Open champion Sabalenka, 27, believes Zverev should consider a similar approach. 'Well, I had a therapist five years in my career. I stopped maybe in 2022. But it's actually crazy to hear from someone like Alexander because he surrounded himself with the family, you know?" Sabalenka said. 'It's really important to talk openly about whatever you're dealing with. Especially if you have your family, talk about what are you experiencing because if you're going to keep it inside, it's just going to destroy you. 'I think that's kind of like something happening to him. He just needs to open up to whoever is close to him. Like I think family is the best, people who can accept whatever you're dealing with." What Sabalenka About Mental Health To Zverev? Zverev's candid admission raised concerns for his well-being, and Sabalenka emphasised that being more open is essential for positive mental health. 'The moment you start talk about your problems, you kind of start realising a lot of things. It's helping to solve them," she said. 'So he just has to be a bit more open, not only to himself but just like open to his family, team, just so everyone is aware what is going on through his mind. That's the most important. 'Like me with my team, we always talk a lot. So that's why I don't need a therapist, because I have my team. 'We can talk about whatever. I know they're not going to judge me. They're not going to blame me. They're just going to accept it, and we are just going to work through. This is the best advice I can give Sascha."

Doctor's Day special: Understanding Symptoms of Early-Stage Osteoarthritis
New Delhi [India], July 1 : On this Doctor's Day, I extend my heartfelt wishes to all my fellow medical professionals who work tirelessly to heal, serve, and care. It is a day to reflect on our journey, rededicate ourselves to the oath we took, and acknowledge the profound responsibility we carry in improving lives. Happy Doctor's Day to all those who continue to uphold the values of compassion, innovation, and integrity in medicine. As an orthopaedic surgeon with over two decades of experience and more than 20,000 joint replacement surgeries to my name, I've witnessed the growing incidence of osteoarthritis (OA) across age groups. Traditionally considered an ailment of the elderly, early-stage osteoarthritis is now becoming increasingly common in younger populations due to lifestyle factors, obesity, sedentary habits, and even post-traumatic causes. Understanding the early symptoms of osteoarthritis is crucial—not just for patients, but also for primary care physicians and general practitioners who are often the first point of contact. Detecting OA in its initial stages allows for timely intervention, lifestyle changes, and targeted treatment that may delay or even prevent the need for surgical intervention. Recognizing the Early Signs Osteoarthritis begins subtly. Patients may complain of joint stiffness, especially in the morning or after a period of inactivity. This stiffness often eases with mild activity, which makes it easy to overlook. However, as OA progresses, the pain becomes more persistent and may occur even during rest. Another common early sign is a dull aching pain in weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, or lower back, particularly after physical activity. Patients might experience swelling, tenderness, or a grating sensation in the joints. Reduced range of motion or difficulty climbing stairs can also be early indicators. It's essential not to dismiss these signs as simply 'getting old' or 'overexertion.' Early diagnosis can be achieved through clinical evaluation, imaging (X-rays or MRI), and assessment of risk factors such as family history, obesity, or previous joint injuries. Innovations in Orthopaedic Care Thanks to advancements in medical technology, the management of osteoarthritis has significantly evolved. At Max Super Speciality Hospital, we utilize state-of-the-art robotic systems, navigation techniques, and artificial intelligence to ensure precision in surgical planning and execution. Robotic-assisted joint replacement, in particular, has revolutionized the outcomes for patients requiring surgery. With enhanced accuracy and reduced soft-tissue trauma, robotic surgery facilitates quicker recovery, reduced pain, and longer-lasting results. It's particularly useful in patients with anatomical variations or complex deformities, where precision is paramount. Another remarkable advancement we've pioneered is the Single-Stage Revision Technique for infected joint replacements. In collaboration with leading German surgeons, we brought this technique to India. This method allows for infection control and implant replacement in a single procedure, which traditionally required two or more surgeries. This innovation significantly reduces hospitalization time, cost, and patient discomfort. A Patient-Centric Philosophy What makes a doctor truly effective is not just skill but empathy. Throughout my career, I've always emphasized patient education and involvement. It's not just about replacing joints—it's about restoring lives, mobility, and dignity. Each patient is unique, and so is their journey with osteoarthritis. From conservative treatments such as physiotherapy, medication, and lifestyle modifications to surgical intervention when necessary, the focus remains on tailoring the approach to individual needs. Mentorship and the Road Ahead I've also had the privilege of mentoring young orthopaedic surgeons, both in India and internationally. Sharing knowledge, exchanging ideas, and nurturing the next generation of surgical talent is a responsibility I take seriously. Through conferences, training modules, and surgical workshops, we aim to set global benchmarks in joint replacement care. Final Thoughts on Doctor's Day On this Doctor's Day, I am reminded of the deep trust that patients place in us. Every diagnosis, every procedure, and every reassurance carries the power to change a life. Let us continue to embrace innovation while remaining grounded in ethics and compassion. To all patients experiencing the early signs of joint discomfort, I urge you—don't ignore the pain. Seek timely consultation. Modern medicine offers a range of solutions, and when managed early, osteoarthritis need not define your quality of life. Wishing everyone a healthy, active, and pain-free life. Dr. Simon Thomas If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact to notify us. We will respond and rectify the situation in the next 24 hours.
