Not every player said it was so easy to roll with the change. Azarenka declined to comment on the decision after her semifinal win. “I want to focus on my tennis tomorrow,” Azarenka said when asked about the sudden decision to delay play. “For sure it had good intentions.” He also said that what Osaka had pulled off — winning with so much going on in her life off the court — was not easy. There was the occasional smattering of claps from the players’ team members, but little other noise during the two-hour match.
