Truth is, I've hit a wall and I can't continue."I need a break. A break from the monotonous daily grind of life on the tour, the suitcases, the results, the pressure, the same faces (sorry girls), everything that comes with this life. The schedule is too much, mentally and emotionally I am at breaking point and sadly, I am not alone."She continued:"Plus the ongoing battles to gain full Australian competition eligibility, it's a lot. I will get stronger by being away, recharging, regrouping, and reenergising.
