The four-time Grand Slam winner chose not to attend any press conferences after the matches in France, on the grounds that her mental illness did not improve by being forced to be interviewed.
Now the world number three, who has suffered from depression since the US Open title in 2018, says that she regrets her actions.
- I feel that there were many things I did wrong there (in Paris), she says now, according to several foreign media.
- But at the same time I am a person who lives very much in the present.
There are many things I have learned to handle better.
But I feel that the same thing will not happen again.
But I say and do what I feel like.
I do not necessarily think it's a bad thing.
Fell in tears recently
Osaka withdrew from the Wimbledon after the French Open and left the Olympics already in the round of 16.
Her recharging before the upcoming US Open has also been heavy, as she lost in Cincinnati already in the round of 16 against Jil Teichmann.
Her Cincinnati competition otherwise received the most attention, when she fell into tears during a press conference when she was asked a question about her relationship with the media.
