Dion Waiters opens up on depression:
“I just wasn't having fun. I had thoughts of not being around, but I've got kids. I'd rather be miserable for the rest of my life than to leave my kids without a father. I didn't want to be around anyone, and everybody was still asking for s--t. I'm a one-man army as far as finances go. I'm the backbone. S--t was dark. Some days, I'd sleep in the bed all day. I had nothing to look forward to. I wasn't working out. It's a mental battle.”

Nick Kyrgios competed with an arm sleeve to cover his self-harm:
“You could tell I was hurting. My whole arm was covered in scars – that’s why I actually got my arm sleeve to cover it all. I was genuinely contemplating if I wanted to commit suicide.”
"I was sitting in the locker room and I was just numb. Billy Donovan is talking and it's muffled... I was like, 'Yo something's wrong. I think I'm about to break.'"
