Naomi Osaka wants ?some level of privacy and empathy? from the media when she returns to action and says she ?could not be more excited? to play in the Olympics. Osaka has not played since withdrawing from the French Open after revealing she would skip press conferences at Roland Garros as ?people have no regard for athletes? mental health?. The four-time grand slam champion from Japan revealed she had suffered ?long bouts of depression? since winning the US Open in 2018. Osaka says she has not changed her stance on press conferences and feels she had been unfairly scrutinised. World number two wrote in Time magazine: ?I communicated that I wanted to skip press conferences at Roland Garros to exercise self-care and preservation of my mental health. I stand by that.
