"I want to also take the quarantine time to just think about everything, and for me, I have a lot of regrets before I go to sleep.
"And most of the regrets is due to (the fact) that I don’t speak out about what I’m thinking."
The 22-year-old Japanese, won back-to-back Grand Slam titles at the 2018 US Open and 2019 Australian Open.
She revealed that she struggles with success last year that she felt depressed after reaching world number one following her win in Australia.
"There’s a lot of times where I see myself in situations where I could have put my input in, but instead I’ve held my tongue and things kept moving in a way that I didn’t really enjoy.
"I feel like if I asserted myself, I would have gotten the opportunity to see what would have happened."
"Part of me is a bit concerned (about not playing tennis), but also I know that other players are in the same position as me, probably.
"I just think that, it’s not like I’ll forget how to play tennis. I also don’t want to train five hours a day right now because I think that’s how you get burned out and you never know when tournaments will start again," she said.
