Naomi Osaka withdraws from French Open - a podcast by RNZ

Tennis player Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from the French Open in the wake of her decision to boycott post-match media duties.
Yesterday Grand Slam organisers said the Japanese player could face expulsion from the tournament.
The 23-year-old said last week she would not do news conferences to protect her mental health.
When she announced her withdrawal, she said she "never wanted to be a distraction" to the event.
Tennis commentator Dave Worsley spoke to Susie Ferguson.
