If you feel anxious stressed or depressed talk to someone get help - Chris Evert urges fans to take better care of themselves on World Mental Health Day

Chris Evert posing with the WTA trophy October 10th is annually observed as World Mental Health Day and tennis legend took to Twitter to urge her fans to attend to their emotional and psychological needs. The now-retired right-handed counterpuncher is one of the greatest players tennis has ever seen. The six-time Champion was very dominant in the late '70s and early '80s, but the former World No. 1's life has looked different since. After her retirement, the 18-time Grand Slam Champion established the 'Evert Tennis Academy' in collaboration with her brother and has worked as a commentator for several years. The American former World No. 1 has been vocal about the mental health challenges faced by tennis players on and off the court. In February, Alexander Zverev was disqualified from the ATP 500 Mexican Open as a result of his irate outburst that ended with him smashing his racquet on the umpire's chair multiple times. Chris Evert was one of the first to talk about tennis's mental toll on players' minds. She highlighted the sharp rise in such incidences in court and how they are directly linked to poor emotional well-being. Evert encouraged people to seek help if they're "anxious, stressed or depressed" on the occasion of world mental health day. "Anxiety disorders are the top mental disorders in the country. If you feel anxious, stressed or depressed, talk to someone, get help, you’re not alone," Evert said. Anxiety disorders are the top mental disorders in the country.
