Tennis star Lucas Pouille has set his sights on returning to the tour after battling a dark period in his life.
The former world No. 10 burst onto the scene at the age of 22 in 2016, and had been tipped to be one of the next brightest stars of French tennis. That year he reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon and beat Rafael Nadal en route to the last eight of the US Open.
His best Grand Slam result came at the 2019 Australian Open where he was defeated by Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals. But Pouille was soon beset with injuries and the Frenchman has not played at the top level of the ATP Tour since last May, having also suffered depression and alcohol issues.
