Rafael Nadal on Naomi Osaka... that he think about Naomi Osaka's decision not to do press conferences during the tournament ? Have he ever found it difficult to do a press conference after a painful defeat ?

"No, I respect it. I respect her, of course, as an athlete and her personality. I respect her decision.
I don't know. I mean, we as sports people, I mean, we need to be ready to accept the questions and to try to produce an answer, no? I understand her, but in the other hand, for me, I mean, without the press, without the people who normally is traveling who are writing the news and achievements that we are having around the world probably we will not be the athletes that we are today. We don't gonna have the recognition that we have around the world, and we will not be that popular, no?
So I understand her. In the other hand, I have my point of view that the media is a very important part of our sport, too."
