TENNIS player Naomi Osaka did not want any attention on herself at this year’s French Open. All these, of course, changed when the Badminton World Federation (BWF) also made it compulsory for players to attend press conferences. Most of our athletes are quite shy during press conferences but it’s easier to get them after the “official” session. The media world is no longer the same. Athletes are comfortable sharing their ups and downs on social media, they spend more time on different media platforms and have become little story-tellers of their own.
