Just last week Japanese tennis ace and Former US Open finalist Kei Nishikori, 35, withdrew from Wimbledon shortly after issuing a public apology to his wife, who he'd been caught cheating on. Snaps emerged of the former World No 4 leaving his apartment with his mistress, model Azuki Oguchi, who he had a years-long affair with. Kei made a "deep" apology to his wife Mai Yamaguchi and their children - aged four and one - but not before saying sorry to sponsors, fans and tennis chiefs.

He is far from alone in straying over the line due to temptation and the pressures of the tour circuit. Here we reveal some of the tennis world's darkest secrets.

At the time drug testers found traces of the white powder in his washbag in Evans said at the time: 'It's really important that you know this was taken out of competition and in a context completely unrelated to tennis.' In 2018 he told The Guardian: "It's a shocking drug – and not just in sport; it's terrible in life, it's a life-ruiner... I took it. "I knew beforehand I shouldn't have. It's illegal for one, never mind being a sportsman. If you're taking drugs you're not in the clearest mindset."

In a documentary McEnroe, now 66, admitted that using cocaine 'didn't help' their marriage and 'I have myself to blame for that". He also confessed: 'I don't think infidelity helps. I believe that's both of us. I believe that's the end of the end.' McEnroe added of his drug-taking: "These days they take performance enhancing drugs. We were taking performance detracting drugs. Putting smoke in your mouth isn't the best thing." Over the years, he would later joke that 37 therapists were unable to solve his anger issues.

I really was not happy with myself, my tennis, my life, my parents, my coaches, my friend.
