Agassi said that players often find it difficult to cope with the relaxed life post-retirement as they are used to the stress of playing regularly and said that it is something similar to PTSD. Agassi added that there is a need to be self-aware and find our own forms of distractions. ‘As you get closer to the top, the expectations are a lot.
