At least they say they talked to Stefano and she'll be ok.

[MilenaMKB]

Oh no!!

[aspinswramymn]

SO profoundly sad, in so many ways.

There are players that you think have/will have a fairly easy transition to a life after tennis. Like Steffi Graf. Or Lindsay Davenport. Or the Williams sisters.

Jen Jen, on the other hand, is one of those people I always feared would have a hard time once the career ended.

I hope she is okay, and that some good comes from this for her future.

I remember a couple of years ago there was an article and interview with Jen where she said she was struggling with depression, but my god.

This is beyond sad, it's heartbreaking really.

This makes me think back to that article from a couple of years ago when she talked about how despressed she became after she was unable to play.

Especially since she didn't end it on her terms, I think that's probably the hardest thing for her.

Same here.

So sad

[untostaronaf]

Awww, Jen. This breaks my heart.

[ImmitsRom]

No words.

[expiclefich]

Seriously, awful news.

[aparneioninny]

Very sad news.

[southernplayer99]

Oh no, how sad. JenJen, there are those of us out here who still love you and wish you the best. I hope that you are getting the help that you need and you come back to us with that great smile.

[KatoabamyHant]

The more her life story unfolds, the more convinced I am that she never really had a fair chance.

[levitratestimon]

Let us all send her our best wishes and hope she gets back on her feet and gets on with her life with a spring in her step.. we will never know what her internal life is like, we can only wish her all the best in getting over her troubles..

[eljugadordepoquer]

If she could only find another purpose in life that gives her as much satisfaction as tennis it would be great.

[pheelixoss]

Sad news. Hoping she fully recovers - in every way.
