I wanted to share something with you all. 2026 has been a very challenging year for me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn top of everything the profession demands, a series of injuries ended up taking me out of important tournaments and keeping me from playing the way I would like to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that\u2019s just part of an athlete\u2019s life, but even so, it\u2019s still frustrating. I made a huge effort to return and represent Brazil in the Davis Cup, but I still need more time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI talked a lot with my team, and we came to the conclusion that the best decision right now is to listen to my body, give my mind and body a break, and skip the Asian swing.
