Giorgi posts an update: I needed a new life: being a tennis player is not an easy task.

Recently, Giorgi posted a candid post about her career, stating that the stresses of professional tennis had taken a toll, and she needed to take some time and think hard about her future and personal goals.

She showed that the traveling, training, and competitiveness were demanding and left her with no room to balance as she struggled to have a good life to live other than the sport she was passionate about.

As Giorgi has already stated, she did not make the decision quickly, but only after a thoughtful consideration of her well being, because she wanted to lead a healthier lifestyle and be more emotionally stable without tennis.

Her words emphasize the challenges that athletes undergo that go unnoticed by fans, and that in order to achieve long term happiness and fulfillment, sometimes one has to take a new direction.
