Indeed. Would be a different story if it wasn't for the money involved. Heck, if you qualified for the 2021 Australian Open, you'd get 77,750 USD just for showing up [1]. I'd argue that getting a year's worth of pay is well worth wasting a few hours giving interviews. It's not as if the players aren't prepared and trained for that either.
