After threatening to disqualify Osaka, all four Grand Slam tennis tournaments offer her support.
What made them change their attitude? —-I think it’s because many other major players showed sympathy.
Djokovic commented: “I emphasize with her because I was on the wrong edge of the sword in my career many times with media. I know how it feels.”
He also showed understanding that young athletes like Naomi can reach out for fans directly through social media, not the conventional media conference.
Naomi took action bravely by not being brave enough to stand media interviews!

Indeed. What's the point of press conferences anyway?
DeleteUnless the interviewee has agreed to participate.
No one should be forced to do them.
And the media ought to submit questions beforehand. And refrain from hostile questioning.
If enough sportspeople were to refuse, perhaps the situation would change?
We Japanese cabinet and media has been sticking to such an old-fasioned relationship.
DeleteControlling the media literaly is not the best
fact for athlets and plays.
Probably she could be aware of
the difficulties at her sensitive challeng with a depression, she is a true chellenger.
I love her, so cute!!
I forgot e for challenge🎾
Deletemedia literacy🤸
DeleteI need to correct my misspelling too.
DeleteOtherwise I feel bad for Djokovic.
Obviously, he ‘empathized’ with Naomi.
