Naomi Osaka admits she should have been prepared for the fall-out to her decision to duck press conferences at the French Open, but has asked for more 'privacy and empathy' when she returns to action.
In May, world number two Osaka announced she would not participate in post-match news conferences at Roland Garros in order to protect her mental health.
She said she had suffered bouts of depression since winning her first grand slam title at the US Open in 2018 and that talking to the media triggered anxiety.
