Tennis News : I wish I could give her a hug - Williams on Osaka's withdrawal

Serena Williams said on Monday (31st May) that she believes Naomi Osaka is 'doing the best she can,' following the second seeds withdrawal from the French Open after deciding not to speak to the media during the tournament. Williams was speaking after her first-round 7-6(6) 6-2 win over Irina Camelia Begu at Roland Garros - the first-ever match to be played as an evening session on the red clay.
