He says disconnecting will curb anxiety from hours of scrolling, with his team handling sponsor obligations.

Overview

  • The 27-year-old told SDNA he reduced his Instagram following to zero as a deliberate break from personal use.
  • He set a personal goal to avoid social media for one to three years or longer to regain focus.
  • He framed the move as an example for young people to spend less time online and engage in real-life activities.
  • His 2025 has been uneven, with a five-set US Open loss to Daniel Altmaier following a Dubai title and a Wimbledon retirement.
