Or Zach Greinke "What do you see in the future Zach"? His response "Flying Cars". He also, sometimes, makes a mockery of press conferences. "They have alot of good hitters". blank stare. Zach should actually reach out to Naomi as he went through anxiety early in his career. He missed about a year due to his fear of performing in front of crowds. He is better now, I think.
The thing is, when you really struggle with anxiety, being there itself is a huge burden and a lot of pressure. That being said, I really hope for her own mental health that she'll be working on this as it is a really good exercise to fight your "demons": for her, it's her obvious shyness. But please, respect her choice
@@deepulse9752, we respect it. However, when the sponsors spend 45 million dollars, they expect you to be chatty, charming and extude strong will and confidence. The Japanese media are notoriously invasive and pushy. I really do feel for her. She needs to hire an old battle axe nurse to run interference for her and set some boundaries. And, the Japanese notoriously slap a "weak" label on mental health. That is why their rates are so high.
@@dblog absolutely even jeered at, when they were younger!! There is so much BS that goes on and how the empires treat each player... is so sick! I use to like football and even played it, then seeing all the BS just gave up and now tennis is having the same $* going on!! Makes you wonder!!
it's about rumour and gossip. And I admire Serena fully backing Naomi. This press made Serena cry last time during AO. You know, media is enjoying the harassments on these players in the name of rules
Gossip? There’s no gossip in these interviews. What do you think, they’re being interviewed by the enquirer?? You obviously don’t follow tennis and haven’t seen post-match interviews.
I agree. This type of questioning of an experienced player about an absent player is what I totally dislike of press and stupifying "media". They have no right to bring these themes up because, in this case, Serena is not a qualified interpreter. I seems that If Serena doesn´t respond, these goons would attack her. These idiots should stick to the sport not speculation about what absent people think. No respect for the player should produce a strong pushback on media. Naomi is right, these people stink.
100% I stand with Naomi. I know she's going through some deep shit atm but, press conferences often go astray and don't blame her for not wanting a part of it. The players association say that if she needs help they can provide help (love to know the confidentiality or lack there of with that). Not slapping her with a $15,000 fine and respecting her space would've been a good start. They need to talk about the match and maybe the upcoming match that's it. I've seen many where it goes off topic. The media and supporters are to blame... there's this obsession with having to know what a player thinks of another player, Or what they did or going to do on their off season. If its game related FINE anything else is just gossip. I watch tennis to see and hear about tennis, if I want gossip I'll... Well I don't know where I'd go for gossip that ain't my jam.
@@gerardpully762 but you’re all a part of it. Even your commentary on here, whether you’d like to admit it or not, contributes to the talk, gossip, discussion, debate…..whatever you’d like to call it. Every single comment related to this event adds to it even more. All human beings have this desire to talk, gossip, discuss and debate, whether you’re a journalist or sitting at home on your couch engaged in a RUclips thread. Don’t be a hypocrite!
It’s so funny how when Venus and Serena look “uninterested” in SOME of their interviews it’s a problem, but now that Naomi spoke up about the issues that come with doing these interviews everyone wants to feel for her and understand how toxic the interviews are. I totally agree and stand with Naomi, I just find the treatment and comments about Serena and Venus to be so distasteful, like keep the same energy. People truly don’t like to see them be great. And all these comments about Serena being “unprofessional” or a sore loser when she loses, like damn isn’t she a human? Don’t you get upset sometimes? People need to realize that celebrities and professional athletes are HUMANS with their own emotions and behaviors. You would hate to have everything you do judged by someone and you know it
Exactly!!! I am an overachiever and I feel Serena is one too when I don't get near-perfect results, it's like I'm losing my mind especially when I work so hard at something. It's not easy for people like us to relax and take a loss with a smile on our faces, it's exhausting but we are all built differently.
The diff is when you become too emotional or frustrated DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON OTHERS AND PLAY THE BLAME GAME. That's why many don't like the Williams sisters ! Take it out on a racquet like most pros do ! 🤷♀️🤷♂️
exactly. You know, there are still thriving unhumans who are soo scared of watching a woman being strong and expressive that their c**k goes limp on watching them being successful and famous and great.
Yeah true, she’d be way happier living in Somalia eating ground for breakfast. The ultimate proof that rich people don’t realize their life are better than 99% of the people on earth.
She used thick and thin and people assumed physical shape. She meant that she is thick skin and can handle the pressure while others (Osaka) who is thin skin and can’t handle pressure and can’t handle criticism. I see what you did there Serena.
The way the Naomi was treated in het first major match and Serena's outburst contrbuted to her demise. Serena was her idol. Naomi is a very sensitive person and a Japanese. They are introverts and sincerely courtoues. They do not scream and yell. Her big moment was spoiled. And whenever she plays in big matches ,she relives that moment. Thank you Novak that you could give her guidance. Naomi will come back one day stronger. We al invite you back,Naomi.
Yes...PEOPLE forget easily. Naomi was crying that day because of Serena's DRAMA. It was Naomi's day. She was ON FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 but all attention was on Serena because she was screaming on the Judge and the same Judge withdrew 1 or 2 points from Serena. It was Naomi's Final but she didn't feel the 🏆,she didn't enjoy the day because of Serena's Drama. How many HUGS did she give to NAOMI that day ? Naomi was in depression because of SERENA since 2018 🇺🇸 USA OPEN
There are so many athletes, who privately and secretly are working with professionals, who are supporting them through their anxiety & depression. Clearly, she does not have the right people around her right now and that is sad.
Much respect for Williams honest, empathetic, dignified response about Osaka. Let Osaka deal with her Personal anxiety and depression issues her own way. Let her be.
People don’t cause depression or anxiety. That would be ridiculous. You don’t get to choose what day you feel how you feel. Anxiety and depression is no game. In my opinion yes lone the young lady alone so she can work it out or get help Smh
Why is it so important for her to talk to the press? She came to play just respect people her personal space. Depression and anxiety is real and it shouldn't be overlooked. Good for her to put herself first👏👏👏
Well, her sponsors and tournament directors (all of whom she is contractually obligated to) would say differently. If you want to put yourself first, then don't agree to obligations if you can't meet them. It's quite simple, really.
So, if players start feeling too much pressure that fans are watching them play, I guess they can boycott fans too, right? What’s so important for you to watch athletes perform like they are cage monkeys. The point is that you are a professional and handsomely paid for doing your jobs so you have what adults called responsibilities and obligations. If you don’t want to do it, then quit and play tennis for fun with your friends, I’m sure the media won’t bother you at that point. Everyone is working together to build and help the sport grow and that includes the organizers, athletes and media.
@@michaelwou1667 Michael, just stop. You're making too much sense. That kind of logic is not tolerated around here. What's most important is feelings. I completely agree with everything you said. What makes it even more ridiculous is that the media is the one who anointed her the golden child of tennis (mind you, she's 23 lol) but she checks all the intersectional boxes...If it wasn't for the media she wouldn't be where she's at, upon her mound of $$$. The media doesn't need her. Osaka, on the other hand, needs the media.
Serena has stronger will power to conquered whatever has comes her way in meeting the press.And everyone in life have different mindset,And healthwise is important which is the fountain to fulfill your joy and Happiness in life. And time is the master for everything and all the best for everyone.
You're funny that isn't what that pack of jackals (the sports media) does. Naomi Osaka will forever be asked a million questions about this. At least 10-20 per media appearance. It won't matter if she wins or loses her matches. If they can make her break down and freak out all the better!
She feels bad for her emotional understandable> But as an athlete and competitor She is Salivating having her out and making the road to the Championship a whole lot easier for her
2:50 ... Many, many of them. I've been to, where i've been.. very difficult to walk in those moments... but you know, it makes me stronger Thats a Powerful Statement Right There
I am not sure it makes you stronger than the amount of discomfort & dread one has going into that environment, & undoubtedly walking away with a smile, only to be haunted with wondering did I respond correctly . I think it’s a nightmare for many who are silent. It is certainly distressful ‘ that’s only one element. How will media present you, dissect you & make comparison. I think it’s unnecessary. Media only WANTS You TO BOOST THEIR RATINGS..... It’s a slippery slope & it is time for CHANGES.
@@peggycarrington877 Stronger it doesn't mean you not be able to feel anything... Stronger in that conversation means you able to cope and handle the media with all your heart without sacrificing your own freedom of speech.
That's what I was thinking! She was the biggest Diva mean girl then and probably made Naomi anxiety worse. I hope the players know that without the press, then there will be no hype for any Opens. No hype = no big pay check. I wish Naomi will get help from the right people and not from virtual signallers.
@@cindykpower Her exact statement per her own Twitter is “The truth is that I have suffered long bouts of depression since the US Open in 2018” She never said anything about the USO “season.” Maybe before calling others names you should know what you’re talking about & not make things up.
Yeah right....She ruined Osaka's big first night and now she's trying to clean that up with this...common..Remember her tantrums?? ...everytime she's losing...(..With Stosur, Clisters, Osaka...))....just to name a few.....disrespectful and arrogant is what she really is.
@@Brandespada it's a serious topic. She's talking about mental health. Do you expect her to be upbeat and laughing about it? And if she's a generally serious person that's also fine. We're all different. You can always watch other players.
@@Brandespada People have different personalities. Introverted people have always been misunderstood and prejudge by people. We have to be more accepting of people with different personalities and do not put people in the one box that all are extroverts.
Who sees the irony? It's hypocritical to say the media is at fault while ... Watching. an. Interview. Of another player. If you don't like the media coverage these athletes get, then don't watch and support this either.
I feel like asking serena/venus these questions is very important as they went through a lot, ,more than anyone else has ever been. They have handled sooo many accusations, and serena still does. With random racist/sexist comments, being booed at a match for scamming her way past her sister, or asking her about her drugs even though she has never tested positive and her drug tests are the most frequent. She is a very strong person and she keeps on proving this and she did this in this interview again. Naomi is a very talented player who acquired fame quickly enough to make her feel uncomfortable. From whatever issues she is suffering from, she will be back. She just needs some time to handle all this exposure as being an introvert myself , I understand her a bit.
Yes, Serena. all need to hug Naomi! Look at Naomi's eyes she is going through some heavy stuff! She needs the world to reach out to her! She also needs your experience and Your Sister Venus's experience! She will comeback "even stronger", like you said, once she "studies the attemted humiliations and pain" you and Venus suffered when first bursting on the tennis scene-she will refresh herself and roar to the top again, and be able to encourage upcoming Tennis stars just like you and Venus do!

It was Serena in the first place who made Nàomi's win over her seem less at the 2018 US Open. Anybody , but Serena to talk. On the another hand, athletes have to be strong- physically and psychologically. Awaiting your return 🙏❤️
ikr, serena probably asked the whole us open crowd to boo at naomi . Also, her hugging Naomi and consolidating her at the prize ceremony and Naomi herself accepting that if it weren't for serena, she would have been worse was all an act right??? It is because of people like you only that this world is still so ignorant and there are several places for negativity to breed.
Serena's bad sportsmanship during and after the match is what triggered Naomi's depression. Even the press said Serena took away the joy for Naomi's win. Yet no one talks about that but you. Nice job. Naomi said it without saying Serena's name. Serena has been and is the bully.
@@fiveo9127 lol stop living in a delusional world. Even if i acknowledge your observation , then also i have an alibi. If Naomi really felt that she was bullied by Serena, she wouldn't have named Serena as her tennis mom. I've never seen Naomi acknowledge venus like that. Naomi knows what happened and if she still admires Serena then the press' accusations or any random human's accusation doesn't matter at all lol. Anyways, if you are having fun by literally accusing Serena of something she never did, then be it. All that was clear is that the us crowd was rude and made Naomi cry and Serena hugged her and said kind words to her to comfort her.
@@fiveo9127 stop believing the press so much. One moment they'll crown someone as gracious and kind and the other moment they'll declare that person as harsh and unlikable. Open your eyes and watch all the interviews about what happened.
A professional athlete, who is worth more than most of us, can afford to get mental health care. She has performance coaches and therapists. Just like when Im having a tough time with my day job..if I start missing work I get fired and put out. On my days off I get the mental care I need so I can show up and work. Saying “okay today I cant do media” is on thing… but “for the rest of this tournament I wont do media” you are saying you wont do your job.. Our generation is okay with just “not” because “I feel” and thats so stupid
Never can just leave it positive. For the shit, outright racism, body attacks, and attacks on her child by old men over 20 years, its' amazing she's had just 4 'outburts' in all those years. She gets no real credit.
Interesting video! Notwithstanding, You should try to make videos on investment…I think more about my kids and their generation. I think we can secure a better economy and financial freedom too.

@@victorybeginsinthegarden Serena has had to endure so much from the press and the fans and everyone, yet she is as she said it stronger. She literally paved the way for many tennis players that fall out of the "white cute girl" norm. I agree, she didnt have a meltdown.
@@victorybeginsinthegarden sadly she did... to her credit she did the best she could to correct it but by that point the damage was done. In Serena’s defence, she has faced overwhelming pressure and adversity it’s just unfortunate Osaka got caught as collateral damage.
Why does Serena need to be in the spotlight. Naomi doesn’t need a mommie! She needs support, & understanding. Stop shaming her people. Serena not showing compassion, it’s exploration !
I love Serena. She's a sore loser though, and most definitely not mature in most situations that we know of as the general public. Are you new to tennis? She may very well have had a lot to do with starting this cascade for Naomi
@@JamesD-iw6pr mental states are tricky. You often don't know what you can't handle until it's too late. I'm not her, so I can't tell her what to do. But obviously, contracts can tell people what to do. If she wants to keep playing, she can keep paying fines, live with the discomfort of doing interviews, get a different job, or just try to survive on the tens of millions of dollars she has in the bank
Serena? Give me a break. She started a lot of Naomi's problems or did you miss Naomi's quote about this started with the 2018 US Open. I re-watched the 2018 US Open again yesterday and it didn't improve with time.
@@jim6584 she didn't say her depression started after the 2018 US Open; she said she started having long bouts of depression after that open. She stated a couple of years before 2018 that she was depressed.
Then why the hell will you get involve in. A high stress job please if you vamt take the heat stay out of the kitchen.she know that was part of the jcb when she decided yo ne a tennis player
Yes that is why it is difficult to listen to her speak on this. In any event everybody is getting what they need, the press has more coverage on Osaka now than if she hadn’t quit, and Osaka can afford the greatest mental health professionals that money can buy while the rest of us commoners wait on line.

@@harrietacquah2545 what do you mean so what? That moment 2 years ago could easily have been the catalyst to her serious social anxiety, to ignore that moment like you're suggesting is the exactly the reasons why people with social anxiety are afraid to share their feelings. Maybe you should try being more empathetic rather then telling a stranger to 'grow up'.
@@kupiakosD she had the outburst during the match not after when Serena thought she was being treated unfairly by the umpire. Name one player who hasn't done that before. Federer, Nadal, Novak and all players do so why are you behaving like she did such a strange thing? You are so fixated on that issue that you have even forgotten that in the end she hugged Naomi and when the crowd started to boo her, it was Serena who stepped in and asked the crowd to cheer her up as it was her day. Let's speak truth to the issue. Unless you are one of those Serena haters who don't see anything good with what she does. It wouldn't surprise me anyway, afterall it's nothing new. She is the realest person on and off the court and it is what it is. Let's speak truth to facts.
I feel bad for Naomi but she needs to understand that's the life of being a top tennis player. It's a lot of pressure expectations and politics. If she can not handle the pressures of being a tennis player then she needs to seriously think about her career. She has to abide by the policy of the tournament. People are watching her play and they are paying her to play and hear her views her opinions about the matches. I know it's a lot but that's the away it is. I just hope she gets the treatment or help that she needs because everyone wants to win and be the best. In her position right now it's a jungle out there everybody wants to beat her. I am sad because she is really talented and deserve to be number 1. Unfortunately she is not strong enough mentally. Let's hope she gets the help that she needs.
We all can't help but remember what happened at the US Open in 2018 and that Naomi may be experiencing some trauma from the boos during her trophy ceremony. Of course the boos weren't for her, but the attention was towards Serena Williams and the situation. That can play in Naomi's head over and over. I don't know if Serena Williams has apologized to Naomi after the US Open

Well said Serena. Shows your empathy and humility. The journalists unfortunately just seem to be out to get stories and dramatise. A good story sells - that to them is key whether it is a celebrity car accident or a depressed sports celebrity... Sad ...
She could of said it better I think Naomi honesty can allow so much empathy and understanding of herself and many other people too about mental health and what goes on behind the scenes
She speaks well in front of crowds. She may be an introvert, something which hardly anyone knows. When required, Naomi speaks well to crowds and to the press, when questioned earlier by the press in tournaments, and I enjoyed her answers. She did great interviews after winning her four Grand Slams and elsewhere. Wish she didn't pull out. All the other players are nice too. She is a great player, a pleasure to watch on TV in Grand Glams and other tournaments. I wish she would answer questions.
I'd probably be shutting up right now if I was Serena, given that it was her juvenile temper tantrum that completely ruined Osaka's arrival at the winner's table.
Since the us open 2018 when Naomi cried during what was supposed to be her greatest moment. Why was she crying?....because Serena's behaviour ruined it for her! Serena is not a gentle, innocent victim, she has been extremely aggressive to people (umpires and lines women) and perhaps should reflect on her own role in the origin Naoml's struggles...
Your bias of Serena is obvious. The issue was UMPIRING, not Naomi's game. Beating your idol (as Naomi called Serena) is emotional. *Also, RUclips have "anger moments" on virtually EVERY top tier player - including Naomi Osaka.*
The 2018 US Open was a train wreck. She should of been the most mad at her coach. I mean bad calls are part of every sport. The time to take issue with it was after the match not in the middle of it. My parents always told me it takes a lifetime to build a good reputation and you can ruin it all in a second. I am a casual tennis fan and in 20 years I will always remember Serena for her meltdown.
you know your comment makes no sense right? And if you think making fun of someone's mental issues is funny, then you should quickly book an appointment for a psychiatrist.
Naomi, cites the states that her anxiety started at the US open in 2018. Listening to Serena Williams talking and all the other comments, no one seems to connect Serena’s disgraceful outburst and the affect it would have on her younger opponent. In this world where subjective feelings are given ultimate prominence, should we not expect these intractable problems. If everyone is entitled to subjective truth then everything will cease to function as it has. This is the post post modern world that we now inhabit, Enjoy.
Where are you going with this? Serena and her sister went through a lot. Her outburst was a result of years of discrimination, bullying and utter disrespect. The rules were changed to impede their success. She is human.
Cos there’s nothing to connect with that. What about Serena’s mental health when she beat her in Australian open?? Did Serena complain or stopped speaking to the media ? She spoke to the media after the painful loss. Miss mama need to see a doctor she has enough money to afford one...
Serena's outburst have nothing to do with what Naomi is going through. They are both great players and love and support each other. Serena's outburst is her way of dealing with the tennis and all its challenges.
Serenas outburst was aimed at the umpire. It was the crowd that set Naomi off. Serena didn't make anyone boo her while she was accepting the trophy. We're all adults, they chose to boo her and make her feel like a loser, not Serena. So many times the crowd has acted in a disgusting way. Hingis when she as a teenager at the French Open was disgraceful, Konta recently in Romania, Serena herself refused to play at Indian Wells for years because of how the crowd acted. Place the blame properly. Tennis players are not responsible for how adults act and they have no right to boo and say nasty things that the cameras arent picking up that players can hear on court.
Imagine if osaka had anxiety or depression Of public speaking before Us open 2018 then it is quite evident that on that day small demon of Anxiety turned into big monster harsh reality which we all see. She needed someone on that day to reduce little bit of suffering on court. But nobody did. Infact, serena and people made her feel guilty in front of such huge crowd which might be her nightmare. Can't forget she had to say sorry after winning. And serena said " best crowd in the world" really? Wow. I have seen whole match. Whole match felt like serena playing victim and it was booing all around for Osaka. Kudos to her that she didn't fall for that on that day. but it surely made impact on her. Not blaming person for someone anxiety/depression but serena could have behave better on court on that day. Pretty much disappointing.
These tennis players come into the game as kids, they don't know about the stress that comes along with it. I see what Osaka is going through waiting in the wings for Gaufe, WTA needs to have mental health staff to help these young players cope! Serena and Venus know this all to well, they were battered their entire career!
Naomi couldn’t be so naive to think that on the world’s stage that she can then just ignore what came with it. If her problem is that severe then step away and sort it out. If she can or cannot should not change anything about what comes with the life she chose. Press conference is part of the life at the top. I feel sorry she has this condition so perhaps address it before you put yourself back in the spotlight. She should take all the time she needs.
I'm glad everyone is on the same page that Naomi is right to take time away and focus on herself, very healthy! But then the question of should press conferences be forced, I'm in the belief that yes, they should be. Talking to the press is part of every sport and is needed for the sport to grow. It's an extension to the match and needs the mindset to follow. If one can't handle the media then they can't handle Grand Slams and shouldn't take part. Williams took time out and had her own issues she dealt with and then came back stronger than ever.
Serena doing this bring awareness. People dont know what it feels like. its like preparing for a project and a persentation thinking you will get 100% bc of your preparation but then on the day something happens and you get n F. It rly fks with you bc you dont get a second chance.
All these athletes are amazing physical specimens. It is the mentality under pressure that sets the best apart from the contenders. I'm am sure everyone here has experienced depression, anxiety, being overwhelmed. This is a part of life and a part of personal growth. It is a pity that Naomi has not yet found a way to overcome her demons yet, but I'm sure she will. Sport is mental and emotional as well as physical. If Naomi wants to be best she will figure out how to utilize her emotions for her benefit rather than have them control her. It is media's job to talk about things. It is a pity for Naomi on a personal level that she made her personal turmoil so public because now everyone's talking about it. But also quite brave of her to do it too, as it is clear that she wants to draw attention to this issue of "mental health".
Anxiety and depression are not demons someone possesses! And they are not something to learn how to deal with. They are real, serious medical issues. The brain is a complex organ, just like someone with heart issues for example!!
Sorry to say but there’s something fishy about all this. I honestly find it amazing people blaming journalists for doing their job. People that need to be heavily criticized which at this point still hasn’t been brought up to the conversation are her PARENTS and coaches/physios. If they knew her daughter or/and player were suffering from REAL mental health issues (which I highly doubt) they should be wise enough and obliged to make the decision that Naomi should not at all be playing tennis. Naomi can’t be treated differently from other players if she decides to compete. it would be very unfair. Professional athletes know the terms and conditions when they enter a tournament. They get paid immensely by an organization they basically are “working” for. The ATP/WTA/ITF. So either they deal with it on the same conditions like the other players or they don’t partake. Simple. Now to Naomi in particular. I think she’s a sweet soul with good intentions in her heart. But she got this wrong. I personally don’t believe she’s suffering from diagnosed mental illness but I do think she is maybe more sensitive and introvert than others. But that doesn’t make her mentally ill per say. What I do think has happened to her is that she is struggling to cope with fame, success and the immense pressure that comes with it. This I totally respect. And what makes me say this is also the obvious fact that she has been struggling on clay ever since she started competing as a professional. So in general she will be asked more tough questions in her mind before and during this tournament than other slams because she is clearly doubting herself if she can keep as high a level as she has kept on hard court. Even her sister wrote about this on Reddit. She wanted to stay away from journalists questioning her ability on this surface because she already (as her sister put it) had her doubts and didn’t really want any other to get into that space as she was working hard to build her mental confidence regarding her ability to perform but also to live up to all the expectations that’s being put on her. This is immense pressure yes. But it’s not a MENTAL ILLNESS. She was even herself alluding to “self care” (which I totally buy you need to have some of during a fortnight of competition) , and tried to make a not so successful distinction between this and mental illness. I honestly think everyone need to chill out a bit and look objectively on this matter. The snowflake era has a lot of good intentions but the way they handle it and go about it is in this and many other cases doing a disservice to those who are suffering with this awful disease for real. Because what happens now is that people who are uneducated in this matter will think that mental illness is a joke or synonymous with heavy pressure, which is not.
Serena has been such a well-rounded champion. Tennis is such a mental and solitary sport that it becomes necessary for players to develop a strong communication ability. Osaka is undoubtedly a tremendous talent but I believe if she wants to stay on top she will have to improve her communication skills rather than avoid interviews and make adversaries out of the media.
I like that time Serena shared her feelings with a full house at the 2018 U.S. Open final. Unfortunately, it wrecked Osaka's victory. But we did get through it together.
That's why I always loved Sharapova.. she had that:"fuck you guys" attitude towards all of the stupid press and stupid questions that she had to go through.. especially concerning her rivalry with Serena and her drug incident.. but she will always remain a queen and a legend 👏👑
@@PHlophe the game is funded by avid spectators around the world tuning in on the spectacle and buying the advertizers' products. Athletes should focus on the sport. I want to see good tennis not corporate shills
WONDERFUL answers!!👏👍 I AM so VERY proud to see how much people have evolved AND ARE beginning to ASSERT themselves!!! BUT, watching her STRUGGLE to be Politically CORRECT, WAS hard for me😥
So you think Depression is a Big Joke 😒 , On Laughing At other people's suffering .... WOWWW 👏👏 it only reveals what Kind Of heartless Person you are for real .
Just because a person has a personality to be more introvert doesn't mean they are weak or thin skinned. Some extroverts that want be center of attention can also be easy hurt. They can smile on the outside but inward scream of disappointment! Naomi choosing to be quiet takes nothing from her strength, in fact in many cases a quiet, still nature person that has patience, love and humble is the stronger person. I think they should let this young lady play and do interviews on her turf. Many times the players are tired, have alot in their mind and it's just the wrong time to blast them with alot of silly questions to hook a story or audience just for the money 🤑. When these players say stop, no, I'm tired, not feeling like talking and you keep going, that's abuse and she has every right to walk away! Now I have mad respect for Serena because she paved the way but just as she said, everyone is different! Naomi do you! I personally love her quiet humble style but really I'm extrovert but it doesn't mean I'm stronger than an introvert.
0:50 “ I am thick and other people are thin” wow, suffering from depression doesn’t mean that someone is mentally weak. It’s a very little understood disease and no matter how strong you think you are mentally you can suffer from it. Serena , do you think Naomi became a champion without being mentally strong or “thick” as you’d like to call it. Unbelievable the way she patronized Naomi there.
Ofcoarse you would, you much greater chance at the title. But if only she stays away from the US or OZ open, im sure Serena will send her some flowers and a card with it, too express het sadness but deep down inside her jubilation as she searchers for that 1 elusive slam. 4 years ago i believe
If Osaka is not mentally well, she shouldn’t be at a major, which likely is contributing to her stress. I’m glad she is stepping back because she needs to get more help for her depression and anxiety. If you can’t handle a press conference, you need to get stabilized.
Naomi is depressed past 2 years? I thought she found herself a rapper boyfriend What William done in the match in 2018 with Naomi was so ugly that it is unforgettable for many tennis fans
My movement is black mental matter. Let's support this movement for the sake of our new queen. Naomi you are an idol to many kids be strong and get well soon.
It is different in the times. Many players were frustrated and spoke differently after big losses. Back then, that was arrogant and stubborn. Now, the same thing by a different person is viewed as great and everyone supports it.
Of course she is secretly pleased to have the competition reduced .Serena only looks after number 1 and the hypocrisy is rather shameful. I gather Naomi has a good relationship with the media so that is not the problem .She clearly needs medical help and perhaps should quit tennis completely for a while.
Yes...PEOPLE forget easily. Naomi was crying that day because of Serena's DRAMA. It was Naomi's day. She was ON FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 but all attention was on Serena because she was screaming on the Judge and the same umpair chair withdrew 1 or 2 points from Serena. It was Naomi's Final but she didn't feel the 🏆,she didn't enjoy the day because of Serena's Drama. How many HUGS did she give to NAOMI that day ? Naomi was in depression because of SERENA since 2018 🇺🇸 USA OPEN
How ironic, Naomi learned from the best at the US open final 2018. Don’t get what you want? Stamp your feet like a petulant child, blame anyone and everyone else. Fine role model.
REALLY? so for all the strict quarantining they had to do in Australia where everyone was complaining especially Djokovic - Naomi chooses to talk about her mental health as an issue and needing positive space. You have a problem with her withdrawing to take care of that? Get over yourself. Can't stand people who just hate just at the drop of a feather.
How insincere ,it was Williams fault that Naomi hates press because of the 2018 US OPEN and her bad sportsmanship and terrible antics on that day , remember ,Naomi had to apologise for winning .
Yes, agree with you 100%! Naomi's depression is rooted in the trauma she experienced during the trophy presentation of the 2018 U.S. Open Finals! Instead of the blissful feeling of winning her First ever Grand Slam at a young age, she thought she was being booed, she cried and even apologized for winning against her idol! And it was partly because of Serena's on-court antics, yelling, and complaining with the Chair Umpire, hence, indirectly bullying Naomi to lose her bearing, focus and composure during the 2nd half of the game!
stfu....Serena did not cause Naomi's issues. Anxiety is personal. No one person controls your anxiety. And let's be clear': the shit that Venus and Serena has had to deal with in the media was ridiculous, their hair, body types, their faces, their choice of clothing....all criticized. So, don't give me that shit.
@xandria Don't e so one eyed , just watch Williams , she blamed everyone and everything but herself,, warned 3 times, smashing her racquet ,threatening the umpire , illegal coaching ,.I LOST ALL respect for her that day .

I love Naomi and she's got lots going for her, but I think she handled the situation very immaturely. A deal is a deal, she should not have attended RG at all, or saw a therapist to help her through the anxieties that comes with her job, instead of renegade on her word, one's contract is ones word. I can't just not show up for work or leave in the middle of a boardroom presentation full of intimidating folks, because I have anxieties about presenting on high level platforms. While I emphatise with her she also needs to be taught to find the balance between self-care and selflessness, working under pressure versus mental health, not every anxiety is a mental health issue. Mental health must not be abused as a scapegoat for being overly self-aware or overly selfconscious. Her response came across as attention seeking or controversy stirring. I hope she takes the time to work on her shyness and fears or anxieties.
I think NOT ENOUGH WAS DONE TO HELP MENTAL HEALTH to players. We had zverev breaking down, we have a crazy kyrgios. People are battling mental issues and whats ATP OR WTP DOING? NOTHING.
to naomi, we all love you, babygal... dont u forget... we are all behind you... insyaAllah... this is just another dirty job / work of the "rich" entities... aghhh, the association is only doin their part, to threaten players and monopolize the monitization that goess with the press conference... the sponsors want to see your face, standing in front of their backdrop... so, they wont believe anyone who cant make them rich... u kno what i am sayin...
nope... most young first-time slam winners now experience this... there has been a lot of pressure on her to become the next serena...even as she has 4 slams...the pressure is still on her to win all matches..... serena has a different personality so she handles it differently...... this is the media not Serena's fault... grow some brain cells
People saying that she should've consoled Naomi during the US Open final. Go watch the trophy ceremony she did when the crowd was booing her. I'm not defending Serena's behaviour that evening but the audience was just as much to blame

Yes, I don't get it. Serena Williams was horrible, poor sport, yelling, acting like a baby during the final of the US OPEN 2018. Which, on top of it, psychologically burdened and hurt Naomi Osaka. Naomi won the final beautifully, but because of Serena was crying after she won on her chair and at the podium before accepting her trophy and triumph!
She should employ the Marshawn Lynch Media Day tactics, "I am just here so I do not get fined". Say yes and no to questions. Done.
Or Zach Greinke "What do you see in the future Zach"? His response "Flying Cars". He also, sometimes, makes a mockery of press conferences. "They have alot of good hitters". blank stare. Zach should actually reach out to Naomi as he went through anxiety early in his career. He missed about a year due to his fear of performing in front of crowds. He is better now, I think.
The thing is, when you really struggle with anxiety, being there itself is a huge burden and a lot of pressure.
That being said, I really hope for her own mental health that she'll be working on this as it is a really good exercise to fight your "demons": for her, it's her obvious shyness.
But please, respect her choice
How about a 'no comment' ? Easy peasy.

Is this competition about the sport and athleticism (of tennis) or about the rumor and gossip mill?
This is why no one likes the media.
it's about rumour and gossip. And I admire Serena fully backing Naomi. This press made Serena cry last time during AO. You know, media is enjoying the harassments on these players in the name of rules
Gossip? There’s no gossip in these interviews. What do you think, they’re being interviewed by the enquirer?? You obviously don’t follow tennis and haven’t seen post-match interviews.
I agree. This type of questioning of an experienced player about an absent player is what I totally dislike of press and stupifying "media". They have no right to bring these themes up because, in this case, Serena is not a qualified interpreter. I seems that If Serena doesn´t respond, these goons would attack her. These idiots should stick to the sport not speculation about what absent people think. No respect for the player should produce a strong pushback on media. Naomi is right, these people stink.
100%
I stand with Naomi. I know she's going through some deep shit atm but, press conferences often go astray and don't blame her for not wanting a part of it.
The players association say that if she needs help they can provide help (love to know the confidentiality or lack there of with that). Not slapping her with a $15,000 fine
and respecting her space would've been a good start.
They need to talk about the match and maybe the upcoming match that's it. I've seen many where it goes off topic.
The media and supporters are to blame... there's this obsession with having to know what a player thinks of another player,
Or what they did or going to do on their off season. If its game related FINE anything else is just gossip.
I watch tennis to see and hear about tennis, if I want gossip I'll...

All human beings have this desire to talk, gossip, discuss and debate, whether you’re a journalist or sitting at home on your couch engaged in a RUclips thread.
Don’t be a hypocrite!
It’s so funny how when Venus and Serena look “uninterested” in SOME of their interviews it’s a problem, but now that Naomi spoke up about the issues that come with doing these interviews everyone wants to feel for her and understand how toxic the interviews are. I totally agree and stand with Naomi, I just find the treatment and comments about Serena and Venus to be so distasteful, like keep the same energy. People truly don’t like to see them be great. And all these comments about Serena being “unprofessional” or a sore loser when she loses, like damn isn’t she a human? Don’t you get upset sometimes? People need to realize that celebrities and professional athletes are HUMANS with their own emotions and behaviors. You would hate to have everything you do judged by someone and you know it
Exactly!!! I am an overachiever and I feel Serena is one too when I don't get near-perfect results, it's like I'm losing my mind especially when I work so hard at something. It's not easy for people like us to relax and take a loss with a smile on our faces, it's exhausting but we are all built differently.
iVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THIS!!!AND THE MEDIA IS ALWAYS BRINGING UP THEIR AGE
The diff is when you become too emotional or frustrated DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON OTHERS AND PLAY THE BLAME GAME. That's why many don't like the Williams sisters ! Take it out on a racquet like most pros do ! 🤷♀️🤷♂️

The way the Naomi was treated in het first major match and Serena's outburst contrbuted to her demise. Serena was her idol. Naomi is a very sensitive person and a Japanese. They are introverts and sincerely courtoues. They do not scream and yell. Her big moment was spoiled. And whenever she plays in big matches ,she relives that moment. Thank you Novak that you could give her guidance. Naomi will come back one day stronger. We al invite you back,Naomi.

Much respect for Williams honest, empathetic, dignified response about Osaka. Let Osaka deal with her Personal anxiety and depression issues her own way. Let her be.
She is actually the one who caused her depression in 2018, made audience humilliate her and that's when she started her depression
People don’t cause depression or anxiety. That would be ridiculous. You don’t get to choose what day you feel how you feel. Anxiety and depression is no game. In my opinion yes lone the young lady alone so she can work it out or get help Smh
It's not about that. Naomi was accusatory and played the blame game calling out the press for HER issues! That's not 'handling it her way'.
@@carkod that was traumatic to watch, the match was cruel and the award ceremony was even worse.
Why is it so important for her to talk to the press? She came to play just respect people her personal space. Depression and anxiety is real and it shouldn't be overlooked.
Good for her to put herself first👏👏👏
Well, her sponsors and tournament directors (all of whom she is contractually obligated to) would say differently. If you want to put yourself first, then don't agree to obligations if you can't meet them. It's quite simple, really.
So, if players start feeling too much pressure that fans are watching them play, I guess they can boycott fans too, right? What’s so important for you to watch athletes perform like they are cage monkeys. The point is that you are a professional and handsomely paid for doing your jobs so you have what adults called responsibilities and obligations. If you don’t want to do it, then quit and play tennis for fun with your friends, I’m sure the media won’t bother you at that point. Everyone is working together to build and help the sport grow and that includes the organizers, athletes and media.

The media doesn't need her. Osaka, on the other hand, needs the media.

The damage is already done, people should not stress her more in these Media
You're funny that isn't what that pack of jackals (the sports media) does. Naomi Osaka will forever be asked a million questions about this. At least 10-20 per media appearance. It won't matter if she wins or loses her matches. If they can make her break down and freak out all the better!
She can withdraw for ever because these journalists also need money. As much as she wants to earn money, so them too by doing their job.

She is a very strong person and she keeps on proving this and she did this in this interview again.

Never forget this is the same women who made Osaka cry ruining her maiden slam, because Serena couldn't handle losing. The irony.
And so What? She can't be empathetic to her situation? Please grow up.
Yes that is why it is difficult to listen to her speak on this. In any event everybody is getting what they need, the press has more coverage on Osaka now than if she hadn’t quit, and Osaka can afford the greatest mental health professionals that money can buy while the rest of us commoners wait on line.
Yes...PEOPLE forget easily. Naomi was crying that day because of Serena's DRAMA. It was Naomi's day.

@@harrietacquah2545 what do you mean so what? That moment 2 years ago could easily have been the catalyst to her serious social anxiety, to ignore that moment like you're suggesting is the exactly the reasons why people with social anxiety are afraid to share their feelings. Maybe you should try being more empathetic rather then telling a stranger to 'grow up'.
@@kupiakosD she had the outburst during the match not after when Serena thought she was being treated unfairly by the umpire. Name one player who hasn't done that before. Federer, Nadal, Novak and all players do so why are you behaving like she did such a strange thing? You are so fixated on that issue that you have even forgotten that in the end she hugged Naomi and when the crowd started to boo her, it was Serena who stepped in and asked the crowd to cheer her up as it was her day. Let's speak truth to the issue. Unless you are one of those Serena haters who don't see anything good with what she does. It wouldn't surprise me anyway, afterall it's nothing new. She is the realest person on and off the court and it is what it is. Let's speak truth to facts.
Ironic....the person at the root of Osakas depression offering guidance? 2018 US open final was the catalyst for Osakas depression.
I feel bad for Naomi but she needs to understand that's the life of being a top tennis player. It's a lot of pressure expectations and politics. If she can not handle the pressures of being a tennis player then she needs to seriously think about her career. She has to abide by the policy of the tournament. People are watching her play and they are paying her to play and hear her views her opinions about the matches. I know it's a lot but that's the away it is. I just hope she gets the treatment or help that she needs because everyone wants to win and be the best. In her position right now it's a jungle out there everybody wants to beat her. I am sad because she is really talented and deserve to be number 1. Unfortunately she is not strong enough mentally. Let's hope she gets the help that she needs.
We all can't help but remember what happened at the US Open in 2018 and that Naomi may be experiencing some trauma from the boos during her trophy ceremony. Of course the boos weren't for her, but the attention was towards Serena Williams and the situation. That can play in Naomi's head over and over. I don't know if Serena Williams has apologized to Naomi after the US Open

Well said Serena. Shows your empathy and humility.
The journalists unfortunately just seem to be out to get stories and dramatise. A good story sells - that to them is key whether it is a celebrity car accident or a depressed sports celebrity...
Sad ...
That's a mirror to our society. Everyone is part of the problem.
NADAL gave the best reply to this situation! He didnt unnecessarily pity her and gave a very level headed and sensitive reply.
She could of said it better I think Naomi honesty can allow so much empathy and understanding of herself and many other people too about mental health and what goes on behind the scenes
She speaks well in front of crowds. She may be an introvert, something which hardly anyone knows. When required, Naomi speaks well to crowds and to the press, when questioned earlier by the press in tournaments, and I enjoyed her answers. She did great interviews after winning her four Grand Slams and elsewhere. Wish she didn't pull out. All the other players are nice too. She is a great player, a pleasure to watch on TV in Grand Glams and other tournaments. I wish she would answer questions.
.. lol ... so ! Tennis is a good sport for the introverts, they are alone and above all very well paid
I'd probably be shutting up right now if I was Serena, given that it was her juvenile temper tantrum that completely ruined Osaka's arrival at the winner's table.
Since the us open 2018 when Naomi cried during what was supposed to be her greatest moment. Why was she crying?....because Serena's behaviour ruined it for her!
Serena is not a gentle, innocent victim, she has been extremely aggressive to people (umpires and lines women) and perhaps should reflect on her own role in the origin Naoml's struggles...
Preach
Your bias of Serena is obvious. The issue was UMPIRING, not Naomi's game. Beating your idol (as Naomi called Serena) is emotional. *Also, RUclips have "anger moments" on virtually EVERY top tier player - including Naomi Osaka.*

The 2018 US Open was a train wreck. She should of been the most mad at her coach. I mean bad calls are part of every sport. The time to take issue with it was after the match not in the middle of it. My parents always told me it takes a lifetime to build a good reputation and you can ruin it all in a second. I am a casual tennis fan and in 20 years I will always remember Serena for her meltdown.
Serena..gentle soul..gawd no.
Yep, sometimes people need a mental break. And, I'm with Serena some are thin and she's thick. Get well soon Osaka. Love to see you on the court.
Don't answer Serena....say you are depressed....you've earned it!😯😒
you know your comment makes no sense right? And if you think making fun of someone's mental issues is funny, then you should quickly book an appointment for a psychiatrist.
Naomi, cites the states that her anxiety started at the US open in 2018. Listening to Serena Williams talking and all the other comments, no one seems to connect Serena’s disgraceful outburst and the affect it would have on her younger opponent. In this world where subjective feelings are given ultimate prominence, should we not expect these intractable problems. If everyone is entitled to subjective truth then everything will cease to function as it has. This is the post post modern world that we now inhabit, Enjoy.
Where are you going with this? Serena and her sister went through a lot. Her outburst was a result of years of discrimination, bullying and utter disrespect. The rules were changed to impede their success. She is human.
Cos there’s nothing to connect with that. What about Serena’s mental health when she beat her in Australian open?? Did Serena complain or stopped speaking to the media ? She spoke to the media after the painful loss. Miss mama need to see a doctor she has enough money to afford one...
Serena's outburst have nothing to do with what Naomi is going through. They are both great players and love and support each other. Serena's outburst is her way of dealing with the tennis and all its challenges.
Serenas outburst was aimed at the umpire. It was the crowd that set Naomi off. Serena didn't make anyone boo her while she was accepting the trophy. We're all adults, they chose to boo her and make her feel like a loser, not Serena. So many times the crowd has acted in a disgusting way. Hingis when she as a teenager at the French Open was disgraceful, Konta recently in Romania, Serena herself refused to play at Indian Wells for years because of how the crowd acted. Place the blame properly. Tennis players are not responsible for how adults act and they have no right to boo and say nasty things that the cameras arent picking up that players can hear on court.
@@mrjlanigan5140 exactly...
Imagine if osaka had anxiety or depression Of public speaking before Us open 2018 then it is quite evident that on that day small demon of Anxiety turned into big monster harsh reality which we all see. She needed someone on that day to reduce little bit of suffering on court. But nobody did. Infact, serena and people made her feel guilty in front of such huge crowd which might be her nightmare. Can't forget she had to say sorry after winning. And serena said " best crowd in the world" really? Wow. I have seen whole match. Whole match felt like serena playing victim and it was booing all around for Osaka. Kudos to her that she didn't fall for that on that day. but it surely made impact on her. Not blaming person for someone anxiety/depression but serena could have behave better on court on that day. Pretty much disappointing.
These tennis players come into the game as kids, they don't know about the stress that comes along with it. I see what Osaka is going through waiting in the wings for Gaufe, WTA needs to have mental health staff to help these young players cope! Serena and Venus know this all to well, they were battered their entire career!
Naomi couldn’t be so naive to think that on the world’s stage that she can then just ignore what came with it. If her problem is that severe then step away and sort it out. If she can or cannot should not change anything about what comes with the life she chose. Press conference is part of the life at the top. I feel sorry she has this condition so perhaps address it before you put yourself back in the spotlight. She should take all the time she needs.
I'm glad everyone is on the same page that Naomi is right to take time away and focus on herself, very healthy!
But then the question of should press conferences be forced, I'm in the belief that yes, they should be. Talking to the press is part of every sport and is needed for the sport to grow. It's an extension to the match and needs the mindset to follow. If one can't handle the media then they can't handle Grand Slams and shouldn't take part. Williams took time out and had her own issues she dealt with and then came back stronger than ever.
Serena doing this bring awareness. People dont know what it feels like. its like preparing for a project and a persentation thinking you will get 100% bc of your preparation but then on the day something happens and you get n F. It rly fks with you bc you dont get a second chance.
All these athletes are amazing physical specimens. It is the mentality
under pressure that sets the best apart from the contenders.
I'm am sure everyone here has experienced depression, anxiety, being overwhelmed. This is a part of life and a part of personal growth. It is a pity that Naomi has not yet found a way to overcome her demons yet, but I'm sure she will.
Sport is mental and emotional as well as physical. If Naomi wants to be best she will figure out how to utilize her emotions for her benefit rather than have them control her.
It is media's job to talk about things. It is a pity for Naomi on a personal level that she made her personal turmoil so public because now everyone's talking about it.
But also quite brave of her to do it too, as it is clear that she wants to draw attention to this issue of "mental health".
Anxiety and depression are not demons someone possesses! And they are not something to learn how to deal with. They are real, serious medical issues. The brain is a complex organ, just like someone with heart issues for example!!
Absolutely spot on awnser from serena 👏🙏
Sorry to say but there’s something fishy about all this. I honestly find it amazing people blaming journalists for doing their job. People that need to be heavily criticized which at this point still hasn’t been brought up to the conversation are her PARENTS and coaches/physios. If they knew her daughter or/and player were suffering from REAL mental health issues (which I highly doubt) they should be wise enough and obliged to make the decision that Naomi should not at all be playing tennis. Naomi can’t be treated differently from other players if she decides to compete. it would be very unfair. Professional athletes know the terms and conditions when they enter a tournament. They get paid immensely by an organization they basically are “working” for. The ATP/WTA/ITF. So either they deal with it on the same conditions like the other players or they don’t partake. Simple. Now to Naomi in particular. I think she’s a sweet soul with good intentions in her heart. But she got this wrong. I personally don’t believe she’s suffering from diagnosed mental illness but I do think she is maybe more sensitive and introvert than others. But that doesn’t make her mentally ill per say. What I do think has happened to her is that she is struggling to cope with fame, success and the immense pressure that comes with it. This I totally respect. And what makes me say this is also the obvious fact that she has been struggling on clay ever since she started competing as a professional. So in general she will be asked more tough questions in her mind before and during this tournament than other slams because she is clearly doubting herself if she can keep as high a level as she has kept on hard court. Even her sister wrote about this on Reddit. She wanted to stay away from journalists questioning her ability on this surface because she already (as her sister put it) had her doubts and didn’t really want any other to get into that space as she was working hard to build her mental confidence regarding her ability to perform but also to live up to all the expectations that’s being put on her. This is immense pressure yes. But it’s not a MENTAL ILLNESS. She was even herself alluding to “self care” (which I totally buy you need to have some of during a fortnight of competition) , and tried to make a not so successful distinction between this and mental illness. I honestly think everyone need to chill out a bit and look objectively on this matter. The snowflake era has a lot of good intentions but the way they handle it and go about it is in this and many other cases doing a disservice to those who are suffering with this awful disease for real. Because what happens now is that people who are uneducated in this matter will think that mental illness is a joke or synonymous with heavy pressure, which is not.
Serena has been such a well-rounded champion. Tennis is such a mental and solitary sport that it becomes necessary for players to develop a strong communication ability. Osaka is undoubtedly a tremendous talent but I believe if she wants to stay on top she will have to improve her communication skills rather than avoid interviews and make adversaries out of the media.
.. the real problem is she worth shiiit on clay and she's losing and all this is a diversion so she can get away.
Wow Serena showed that , facing your fears makes you stronger.
RARE OUTSTANDING PERSON IN SPORTS AND LIFE!
Did Serena forget she walked out of a press conference upset???
I love Serena, always will.
Love Naomi !! The pressshould leave her be !! Comeback soon Naomi.
I like that time Serena shared her feelings with a full house at the 2018 U.S. Open final. Unfortunately, it wrecked Osaka's victory. But we did get through it together.
If Osaka got over it, and Serena got over it, I'm sure we all can get over it, too.
That's why I always loved Sharapova.. she had that:"fuck you guys" attitude towards all of the stupid press and stupid questions that she had to go through.. especially concerning her rivalry with Serena and her drug incident.. but she will always remain a queen and a legend 👏👑

Clay court depression 😂😂
So you think Depression is a Big Joke 😒 , On Laughing At other people's suffering .... WOWWW 👏👏 it only reveals what Kind Of heartless Person you are for real .
Just because a person has a personality to be more introvert doesn't mean they are weak or thin skinned. Some extroverts that want be center of attention can also be easy hurt. They can smile on the outside but inward scream of disappointment! Naomi choosing to be quiet takes nothing from her strength, in fact in many cases a quiet, still nature person that has patience, love and humble is the stronger person. I think they should let this young lady play and do interviews on her turf. Many times the players are tired, have alot in their mind and it's just the wrong time to blast them with alot of silly questions to hook a story or audience just for the money 🤑. When these players say stop, no, I'm tired, not feeling like talking and you keep going, that's abuse and she has every right to walk away! Now I have mad respect for Serena because she paved the way but just as she said, everyone is different! Naomi do you! I personally love her quiet humble style but really I'm extrovert but it doesn't mean I'm stronger than an introvert.
0:50 “ I am thick and other people are thin” wow, suffering from depression doesn’t mean that someone is mentally weak. It’s a very little understood disease and no matter how strong you think you are mentally you can suffer from it. Serena , do you think Naomi became a champion without being mentally strong or “thick” as you’d like to call it.
Unbelievable the way she patronized Naomi there.
Ofcoarse you would, you much greater chance at the title. But if only she stays away from the US or OZ open, im sure Serena will send her some flowers and a card with it, too express het sadness but deep down inside her jubilation as she searchers for that 1 elusive slam. 4 years ago i believe
If Osaka is not mentally well, she shouldn’t be at a major, which likely is contributing to her stress. I’m glad she is stepping back because she needs to get more help for her depression and anxiety. If you can’t handle a press conference, you need to get stabilized.

Of course she is secretly pleased to have the competition reduced .Serena only looks after number 1 and the hypocrisy is rather shameful.
I gather Naomi has a good relationship with the media so that is not the problem .She clearly needs medical help and perhaps should quit tennis completely for a while.

How ironic, Naomi learned from the best at the US open final 2018. Don’t get what you want? Stamp your feet like a petulant child, blame anyone and everyone else. Fine role model.
REALLY? so for all the strict quarantining they had to do in Australia where everyone was complaining especially Djokovic - Naomi chooses to talk about her mental health as an issue and needing positive space. You have a problem with her withdrawing to take care of that?

How insincere ,it was Williams fault that Naomi hates press because of the 2018 US OPEN and her bad sportsmanship and terrible antics on that day , remember ,Naomi had to apologise for winning .
Yes, agree with you 100%! Naomi's depression is rooted in the trauma she experienced during the trophy presentation of the 2018 U.S. Open Finals! Instead of the blissful feeling of winning her First ever Grand Slam at a young age, she thought she was being booed, she cried and even apologized for winning against her idol! And it was partly because of Serena's on-court antics, yelling, and complaining with the Chair Umpire, hence, indirectly bullying Naomi to lose her bearing, focus and composure during the 2nd half of the game!
stfu....Serena did not cause Naomi's issues. Anxiety is personal. No one person controls your anxiety. And let's be clear': the shit that Venus and Serena has had to deal with in the media was ridiculous, their hair, body types, their faces, their choice of clothing....all criticized. So, don't give me that shit.

Translation : "Thank god I don't have to play you"
I love Naomi and she's got lots going for her, but I think she handled the situation very immaturely. A deal is a deal, she should not have attended RG at all, or saw a therapist to help her through the anxieties that comes with her job, instead of renegade on her word, one's contract is ones word. I can't just not show up for work or leave in the middle of a boardroom presentation full of intimidating folks, because I have anxieties about presenting on high level platforms. While I emphatise with her she also needs to be taught to find the balance between self-care and selflessness, working under pressure versus mental health, not every anxiety is a mental health issue. Mental health must not be abused as a scapegoat for being overly self-aware or overly selfconscious. Her response came across as attention seeking or controversy stirring. I hope she takes the time to work on her shyness and fears or anxieties.
I think NOT ENOUGH WAS DONE TO HELP MENTAL HEALTH to players. We had zverev breaking down, we have a crazy kyrgios. People are battling mental issues and whats ATP OR WTP DOING? NOTHING.
to naomi, we all love you, babygal... dont u forget... we are all behind you... insyaAllah... this is just another dirty job / work of the "rich" entities...
