"I didn't want to get out of bed and I thought I might never play at my desired level again," Jarry opens up about his depression
Nicolas Jarry regained his form during the Wimbledon tournament, where, after coming through qualifying, he managed to reach the round of 16 before being stopped by Cameron Norrie.
The Chilean is coming back from a difficult period, having previously spoken about experiencing depression.
In an interview with Chilean newspaper *El Mercurio*, he reflected on this chapter of his life, which occurred at the end of 2024.
"It was very tough, the worst six months of my life. Some doctors told me it would be quick and that I’d be ready in three weeks.
Then they said a month, three months, four, always with false uncertainty. When I returned to Chile, I fell into depression.
I didn’t want to get out of bed, and I had to speak to my psychiatrist to start taking something that would help me.
But in those dark moments, I thought I might never play at the level I wanted again.
I started approaching the last quarter of the year differently, trying to enjoy myself even though I knew I might spend all that time without winning a single match.
I learned to appreciate tennis more; it’s a lesson I really value and one that has stayed with me to this day."
Jarry will next be seen in Cincinnati, where he has received a wild card from the tournament organizers.
