Personal life
[edit]At the 2019 USTA under-16 nationals in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Gorzny collapsed on court during his match. Later that night in his hotel Gorzny suffered a major seizure in his sleep. At the hospital Gorzny was placed in a medically induced coma for four days. Doctors gave him just a 5% chance to survive as they discovered a mosquito bite left him with an infection in his brain. With consent of his parents doctors removed his breathing tubes to see if Gorzny would continue breathing on his own. After a long recovery he miraculously made it back onto the tennis court. [6] [7]
