Written by Tariq on June 2, 2021
4 Time Grand Slam Tennis Champion star Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open. Despite Osaka’s win on Sunday night against Patricia Maria Tig, much of the conversation has been around her decision to abstain from press obligations and the resulting fine issued to her by French Open officials. “I’m gonna take some time away from the court now, but when the time is right, I really want to work with the tour to discuss ways we can make things better for the players, press, and fans,” Osaka posted on a statement to Twitter.

“Mental health and awareness around it is one of the highest priorities to the WTA,” said a statement from the Women’s Tennis Association. “We have invested significant resources, staffing and educational tools in this area for the past 20+ years and continue to develop our mental health support system for the betterment of the athletes and the organization. We remain here to support and assist Naomi in any way possible and we hope to see her back on the court soon.” Click Here To Read More.Source: ABC News
