PARIS (Reuters) - Judy Murray spoke out in support of Naomi Osaka on Wednesday, saying tennis players faced extremely high demands from the media which could become an "underestimated source of stress".

Murray, a coach and mother to three-times Grand Slam winner Andy and multiple doubles champion Jamie, said she hoped that Osaka, who pulled out of the French Open in a row over media duties, would find a way to be comfortable in the sport again.
