I’m simply saying that all rules apply to all
parties who are involved or associated. There
should be no exemptions, and I’m glad The French
Open stood their ground.

Now if the rules and protocols change in regards to press
conference in GST, then those rules and protocols should
be supported as well. Based on the current rules, players
are required to do press conferences if they want to play in
the tournament. Now if they are uncomfortable for whatever
PERSONAL reason, and they refuse to do the press
conferences, then they will be fined or suspended.

So unless there is an official rule change, she has two choices:

Don’t enter the tournaments, or abide to the rules and protocols
of the tournament. It’s that simple. There will be no exemptions,
and there shouldn’t be. It’s called equal and fair treatment towards
all players.

It’s not tennis’ job to be her therapist. It’s like Artest stated:

My problem wasn’t David Stern, or the press, or other players. My
problem was me, and I had to address that in order to improve myself.

Naomi has mental anxiety issues, and trying to put a bandaid on it
is not going to correct the issue, because pressure and people aren’t
going to go away. She needs to address the central issue, and ,hopefully,
she does that while she is on this sabbatical. ....and I hope she comes
back stronger.
