In response to the controversy that arose with Naomi Osaka's press conferences, Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek, reigning Roland Garros champion, said: "I think it is part of our work, we are constantly in the spotlight and I believe that journalists can help us to do our job better.

Sometimes I understand that not having obligations with them can be good, but in the end collaborating with them is very important and helps us to remove ourselves from the wall of hatred or indifference that can involve us. "
