Just be the best, forgo the pay, and the media requirements, no probs.

Re: Naomi Osaka, another nutcase.

Don't really see why it's an issue for someone to choose not to speak to the media. It could be resolved easily enough if either the media wrote down the questions it wants to ask and give the player an opportunity to voluntarily give a written or prepared verbal response. Failing that, the media could offer to pay players for their time.

Don't really see it's any business of the competition holders or tennis bodies what a player prefers to do.

They would need two sets of questions and answers depending on how the match played out.
