Still, I think it’s pretty illustrative what Djokovic said when Naomi Osaka first said she didn’t want to do press conferences at last year’s French Open:
“I understand that press conferences sometimes can be very unpleasant,” he said.
“And it’s not something that you enjoy, always, you know, especially if you lose a match or something like this.
“But it is part of our sport, it is part of what we do, the media is important without a doubt. It is allowing us to have the platform to communicate with the fans, but in a more traditional way. It used to be the only way how we could reach out to our fans.”
