And Krejcikova was stellar in her post-match press conference!

Osaka was never that good on clay. Deal with it.

Mental aspect of the game at this level must be tremendous.
Good thing she didn't quit.

All people who compete professionally in a sport feel stress. That's why we competed (I compete as a professional), to get ourselves to the point to be in that stressful position to win.
That's the whole point of competing.

Congratulations to Grand Slam winner Barbora Krejcikova and to challenger and runner-up Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Well played.

yes, and?
Did she make Osaka withdraw? No?
Then okay, she was lucky and she made best of the circumstances. As Czech myself I am proud of her.
And btw there was no guarantee that Osaka would win anyway. She said herself that clay doesn't work for her yet...

Agree.
But I think amateurs who compete at a high level suffer far more stress

6th consecutive 1st-time GS winner - the French Open is pretty much a wildcard at this point; ya don't know who can win the whole thang
It's a wise decision having a psychologist to maintain a mental edge
The top players nowadays are so close, any slight edge could be the difference between winning and losing
