Athletes should
>always be made to do interviews.

yes but the TIMING of the interviews is where there should/could be some flexibility

tennis players are playing multiple matches, back to back, within one tournament...is it really necessary for them to give an interview at the end of each match? could interview requirements just be for once they are either eliminated from the tournament or at its conclusion?

or if "after each match" is deemed necessary, couldn't there be some flexibliity around how long after the match? maybe not directly after...maybe give players a two hour rest period before interviews?

all of those things are what SHOULD be considered by not just tennis, but all sports leagues

you can require interviews while still centering the needs of the athlete.
