Tennis legend drops bombshell about the sport's surprising drug problem: 'Everyone's on them'
Tennis great Goran Ivanisevic has spoken out about tennis stars' troubling reliance on antidepressants, claiming mental health issues in the game are so widespread and serious that 'everyone' is on the medication. Ivanisevic, a former Wimbledon singles champion who now coaches Stefanos Tsitsipas, has lifted the lid on the mounting psychological pressures he sees elite athletes facing. His comments come in the wake of Alexander Zverev 's recent admission about his mental struggles where he described himself as empty, joyless and needing therapy as he crashed out of Wimbledon. 'When I listen to players, everyone's on antidepressants, Zverev says he's in a bad place,' Ivanisevic told Clay magazine. 'I don't know why they [the players] put so much pressure on themselves. Maybe it's outside expectations, society's expectations - they can't handle it.' Tennis icon Novak Djokovic believes social media is to blame for a lot of problems facing athletes today. 'Social media is extremely present and largely dictates the mood and daily rhythm of an athlete - especially young ones, but older ones too,' he told Sportklub. 'Everyone is on social media, and you can get lost there, get too attached to comments, to what someone types on a keyboard or phone… and that hurts. 'It's not trivial. That's something we need to talk about seriously.' The 38-year-old star also spoke of the the pressure of social media on young athletes. 'Kids are pushed too early into strict professionalism before they've developed emotional intelligence, which is part of psychological preparation for life,' he said. 'If a player gets a bit lost in that, it can strongly affect their psyche and how they live their life.' Zverev's brave admission following being knocked out in the first round has revived the conversation around mental health in tennis. 'I feel very alone out there at times,' he said. 'I struggle mentally ... I'm trying to find ways to kind of get out of this hole. I keep kind of finding myself back in it in a way. 'I feel, generally speaking, quite alone in life at the moment, which is a feeling that is not very nice.

Alcaraz marches past Rublev while Khachanov and Fritz ease into Wimbledon last eight
Every point in tennis is worth the same as the next, but some are more valuable than others. At 3-3 in the third set here on Sunday, after two and a half sets of outrageous hitting, Carlos Alcaraz held a break point to finally move ahead in the match for the first time. He then produced the kind of athleticism and shot-making that make him such an incredible champion, going side to side, sliding across the court and ripping an unstoppable forehand past the onrushing Andrey Rublev. Until that point, the Russian had played outstanding tennis, testing the Spaniard with big serving, huge ground strokes and staying calm, which has not always been the case. But Alcaraz, like all great champions, has an uncanny ability to turn it on when he needs to and from that point on, he pulled away for a 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory that takes his winning streak to 22 matches and secures a clash with Britain's Cameron Norrie. Alcaraz hit 22 aces and even served and volleyed 15 times, winning 13 of those points, as he moved into the last eight for the ninth time in his past 10 slams. He has won 18 matches in a row here, too, and remains favourite to win the title for a third straight year. 'Andrey is one of the most powerful players we have on tour,' Alcaraz said of Rublev. 'You kind of feel he's pushing you to the limit on every ball. I am just really happy with the way I moved today. I think I played intelligent, smart today, tactically, which I'm really proud about.' Taylor Fritz, meanwhile, may be beginning to believe that the tennis gods are on his side at Wimbledon this year. After a narrow escape against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard of France in the first round, when he trailed by two sets to one and 5-1 in the fourth set tie-break, the American was given an easy passage through to the quarter-finals when his opponent, Jordan Thompson, pulled out due to a hamstring injury. The fifth seed was leading 6-1, 3-0 when Thompson called it quits. The Australian had been battling a lower back problem throughout the tournament and pulled up early on clutching his right hamstring. Clearly hampered, especially in his sideways movement, he took a medical timeout at 2-0 down in the second set but after playing one more game, he decided to give up. The match lasted just 41 minutes in all, including the timeout, which Fritz will doubtless be grateful for as he prepares to face Russia's Karen Khachanov, who beat Kamil Majchrzak of Poland 6-4, 6-2, 6-3. Khachanov has won both his matches with Fritz, even if the most recent one was five years ago. 'I think our games are quite similar overall,' Fritz said. 'To be honest, we practise [together] all the time, so we're pretty familiar with each other's games. But I think I improved a ton and have become a much, much better player since the last time we played.'

Viktor Gyokeres set the world alight at Sporting Lisbon after proving to be Brighton's biggest ever mistake... why Arsenal are throwing £70m at Europe's hottest striker
When Swansea signed a forward on loan in October 2020, it did not take long for excitement among players and fans to turn to doubt and confusion. If the ball was played to him, too often he would fail to retain it. Given the chance to find a team-mate, he would regularly pick out a member of the opposition instead. Swans players were soon exchanging concerned glances. 'Who is this guy?' was the general gist.
