World No. 2 Naomi Osaka said she was under immense pressure to disclose more details when she stepped away from the French Open for a mental health break, but is now ready to make Japan proud at the Tokyo Olympics.
Osaka stunned the tennis world when she quit the claycourt major last month after being fined and threatened with expulsion for declining to face media after her first match.
While the 23-year-old maintains a good relationship with journalists, she hopes the tennis world can respect mental health issues — just like any other workplace.
