Naomi Osaka: Reaction

We speak to tennis players and psychologists about the mental pressures of the sport

Athletes from across the world of sport have offered their support to Naomi Osaka, who pulled out of the French Open due to mental health concerns - but some have also questioned her decision. We ask athletes, sports journalists and a sports psychologist about the pressures athletes face in sport, and what Osaka’s withdrawal means for tennis.

Also, in the US over half of the adult population has now had a Covid vaccine. In turn more than 20 states have lifted their mask mandates. We hear a conversation with two fully vaccinated people who still want, and choose to wear their masks.

And our medical expert Dr Isaac Bogoch joins us from Toronto to explain some of today’s other coronavirus stories. We look at why Peru has more than doubled its Covid death toll - and why coronavirus cases are rising in many South East Asian countries.
