I think that’s a wrap. We got so many more years of Roger than originally could have been expected, but even still when it actually ends it’s hard to accept. The last time I got to see him in person was probably the best 3 set match of his whole career, so I can’t really ask for any more as a superfan.
Get healthy and enjoy the rest of your life man, there is absolutely nothing left to prove. You may no longer have the title as greatest strictly in tennis, but you’ll always be its biggest and most beloved icon.

WTA/ATP 1000 CINCINNATI:
Miserable rainy day so far in Cincinnati - looks like it will be several hours before any chance of play.
In Canada ATP and WTA are on TSN1 and TSN2.

Felix down a break in the opening set to Fucsovics. Just lacking confidence these days, anytime a rally goes part seven shots invariably an unforced error will be committed by FAA and the word is certainly out on tour.
Edit: Okay, that was a big hold by FAA down 15-40 to stay in touch in this opening set. Still down a break however with Fucsovics serving at 4-3

Felix breaks to get back on serve at 5-5 - Playing much better tennis in the last 15 minutes.

So, after looking to go down 2-5 to Fucsovics, Felix rallies and blanks the Hungarian 7-zip in the opening set tie-break. Quite the turnaround for Felix.

Felix and Fucsovics are warming up as the rain has stopped.
Edit: Upon resumption of play, Felix holds and then breaks Fucsovics.

Okay, Felix wins 7-6 6-3 over Fucsovics. Much needed win for FAA.

This is likely going to be an on-going struggle for Naomi, but hopefully as time goes by, she can deal with the stress and anxiety it causes her in a healthy way. She is a fantastic tennis player and I want to be able to continue to see her dazzle us on the court for years to come.

The question (and its tone, frankly) were perfectly fine, as far as I'm concerned. The answer she gave - which was substantive and well thought out - demonstrated that it was an appropriate question. If your question provokes a good, useful answer that readers will want to read, you've done your job.
My view is, the press conference is part of the gig of being on the ATP or WTA, just like hitting a return on the run or keeping your composure when a couple of close points go against you, or keeping the ball in play when it's windy, or having to play a lot of matches in a short period of time after a bunch of flights. Some players are naturally gifted with the ability to do any of those things better than some other players, but you still have to fight through the parts of the gig you're bad at in order to have success. So must Naomi.
