 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams, and Samona Hallop is called an end to her 2022 season after having surgery on a breathing issue that she was having with her nose, and she also got some plastic surgery as well. Let's go have a look at her statement that she bought out on Twitter. So this is what Hallop had to say on Twitter. I would like to inform you about my current situation, reflect on what happened this year, and as I always did, share with you my deep feelings. As you all know already, because I've talked about it many times, in February, I was very close to stopping Tennis because I didn't believe I had enough power to come back to top 10. I was going through many anxious moments, and I thought it is time to stop. It is emotionally unhealthy. Then I was lucky enough to discover Patrick's Academy, where I felt so much passion that it gave me back my passion for tennis. Thanks to Patrick, I slowly started to believe that I still can play a good level of tennis. I was totally open to everything he told me to do, the way I should do it, and the amount of work that I should do. I did everything fully. My goal was very clear. I gave myself one year to get back to top 10. When I decide something, I always go full, and I trusted Patrick 100%, so I wanted his people, and only his people to be in charge of me. That is why I made so many changes to my team, because I felt it was the right thing to do, go fully into that project. It was a very tough period, because I always put pressure on myself, and having the best coach next to me, it felt even more pressure to win and do well. This ended up with the panic attack during my match in Paris. I felt Roland Garros was the moment that I have to play great because of all the work I've done. I couldn't handle the pressure, and I broke down. Then I talked to Patrick and told him that I need to relax, because I can't play with the pressure I put on myself, and asked him to be patient with me for the next six months. No expectations. He listened to me, agreed, and he supported me 100%. After that, I could play one of my best tennis, and faster than I expected. In only two months, I was back in the top 10, goal achieved. But then when I lost to the US Open, I realized that I'm completely exhausted mentally, having problem with the breathing for many years already, and becoming worse with the time, I decided to follow advice of my doctors and do the needed surgery. I could never do it earlier, because I never found the necessary three months for the recovery, because tennis was always the first priority in my life. But I felt it's the right time to do it, and also to do something for myself as a person. That is why I did also the aesthetic part that I wanted to do for a long time, as I did not like my nose at all. So I did it, I solved the functional part, and the aesthetic part, I know many of you can understand me. I don't know how long the recovery will take. For the moment, I am not thinking about anything but recovery. What is sure is that this year, I won't be able to compete in any official tournament anymore. My 2022 season is over, 2022, you have been an interesting year full of everything, see you on court in 2023. Feel I still have a lot to do on a tennis court, and still have some goals. So there you have it, Simone Haller, but not playing for the rest of the year, recovering from that surgery on her nose, and good for her, you know? It's been a tough year, we all know that she has had some tough times on court this year, and she's also gone through some tough things off court as well. So let me know down in the comments below, what do you think about this decision for Haller, taking a bit of time for herself, also figuring out a breathing problem as well, and trying to fix that as well. But Simone Haller, she is out for the rest of 2022 after a surgery on her nose.
