[quote=Anonymous]For those of you in the know, would she be able to provide a person who speaks on her behalf much like the press secretary during specific periods or does it explicitly list that the player must attend - and speak - at the press events?

She is plainly stating that the press events distract her from being mentally prepared to do her best during the Open. There is nothing snowflake about that. Its called boundaries and it is an important part of mental health- regardless of whether you have mental health issues like depression or anxiety.

For those of you talking about how Millennials/Gen Z always have "anxiety or depression" its documented that this is a surge from the overwhelming nature of social media and the internet. Graf retired in 1999. FB Instagram twitter etc werent even around. Its like you lack any ability to see that the lives of those of us in our teens to 30s are exponentially different regarding exposure compared to it was in your teens to 30s. A 60 year old was born in 1961, reached 30s by 1991 and completely bypassed all of this. Even 40 year olds were in their 20s when "social media" started to explode.

It is constant chatter. [/quote]
