Naomi Osaka is conflicted over whether the Tokyo Olympics should be held amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The second-ranked tennis player, who represents Japan, was asked about the games at the Italian Open on Sunday.

Of course I would say I want the Olympics to happen, because Im an athlete and thats sort of what Ive been waiting for my entire life, she said.

But I think that theres so much important stuff going on, and especially the past year, Osaka added. I think a lot of unexpected things have happened and if its putting people at risk, and if its making people very uncomfortable, then it definitely should be a discussion, which I think it is as of right now.
