A Wimbledon executive said Thursday that tournament organizers have spoken with Naomi Osaka and other players about the tournament's media operations.

According to the BBC, Wimbledon chief executive Sally Bolton said: "We have spoken to [Osaka's] team in the last few weeks. So yes, we're certainly remaining engaged with Naomi's team, as we are with all players."

After announcing her intention to not speak to the media during the French Open, Osaka withdrew from the tournament following her first-round win over Patricia Maria Tig on May 30.

Per ESPN's D'Arcy Maine, Osaka explained why she didn't want to speak to the media at Roland Garros in a social media post, writing:

"I've often felt that people have no regard for athletes' mental health and this rings very true whenever I see a press conference or partake in one. We're often sat there and asked questions that we've been asked multiple times before or asked questions that bring doubt into our minds and I'm just not going to subject myself to people that doubt me."

Upon withdrawing from the French Open the day after her first-round win, Osaka explained her decision on Twitter:

Osaka noted that speaking to the media gives her anxiety, and she noted that withdrawing was the best thing for her well-being as well as the tournament and other players involved.

The 23-year-old Osaka, who was raised in the United States and represents her native Japan in international play, subsequently withdrew from next week's Berlin WTA 5000, which is a tuneup for Wimbledon.

With Osaka not taking part in that tournament, questions persist regarding whether she will be part of Wimbledon, which begins June 28.

Bolton noted that Wimbledon organizers want to speak to players and media members prior to the event: "We have started a consultation. Of course, that consultation needs to include not just the players, but the media and all of those engaged in that space. We are always striving to do things better."

Meanwhile, Wimbledon tournament director Jamie Baker said tournament officials are "open for any discussions" and wants the "best players competing here no matter what."

Had Osaka remained in the French Open rather than withdrawing, she could have been subject to punishment for not speaking to the media, including disqualification from the tournament.

It is unclear if Wimbledon would take such measures against the No. 2 player in the world, but every indication is that tournament organizers want her to be part of the field. Her best finish at the All England Club is reaching the third round in 2017 and 2018.

Osaka is a four-time Grand Slam champion and perhaps the most popular and well-known women's tennis player in the world along with Serena Williams, meaning her participation is paramount in terms of ensuring increased interest at The Championships.
