i would completely surprised if a man on the atp came forward with stories of abuse of any type from their parents or and coaches.

Ferrer's coach locked him in a closet, Giorgina. I think a lot of people would consdider that abuse:

Ferrer, like any teenager, wasn’t getting big results and, more importantly, couldn’t quite figure out if tennis was his calling. Hanging out with friends, on the other hand, suited him just fine. Predictably, his desire fizzled. That’s when Piles tried to motivate Ferrer with tactics straight out of a Saw movie.

He locked him in a closet.

“When he didn’t want to work I would lock him up in a dark room of two by two meters and I would put a lock on it so he couldn’t get out,” Piles told Deuce magazine. “It was the room where we would store the tennis balls. I would tell him that his working scheduled was from 9 to 12 and that if he didn’t want to work he would remain there punished. I would give him a piece of bread and a bottle of water through the bars of a small window. After a few minutes we would hear David asking other trainers from the club for some help to get out but we wouldn’t pay any attention.”
