WASHINGTON, Sept 6 — American tennis player Sloane Stephens has become the latest prominent athlete to share the personal burden of what she said were the relentless and “exhausting” attacks she receives on social media.
“It’s so hard to read messages like these, but I’ll post a few so you guys can see what it’s like,” said Sloane, who voiced her concerns just as a number of other Black female athletes have also recently spoken out about the mental health toll high-pressure sports can take. Sloane, who won the US Open in 2017 and once ranked No. 3 in the world, commented: “This type of hate is so exhausting and never-ending. This isn’t talked about enough, but it freaking sucks.”
Osaka’s case increased public awareness of the mental-health challenges facing professional athletes, particularly women and athletes of color.
