Naomi Osaka skipped her post-match news conference at the French Open on Sunday, as promised.

That didn’t mean she avoided a question about her problems succeeding on red clay.

Osaka returned to Roland Garros after skipping the trip last time, turning in a mistake-filled 6-4, 7-6 (4) victory over 63rd-ranked Patricia Maria Tig at Court Philippe Chatrier on Day 1 of the Grand Slam tournament.
