Many people have to wake up at 5, take two transportation and return, after 10 hous, the same way. To get a minimum wage at the end of the month. Some people don’t have the slightest idea about hardship in life. Specially these young rich and famous who have a bias for protesting

Shut up and dribble all of a sudden becomes Talk and ace.

That's messed up.

This is ridiculous, let her be! she speaks volumes without whispering a word with a wave and smile. You go Girl Power!!!

She Can Afford It, Good for Her fir Standing Up for Herself!

Why are people complaining? She decided not to do it, she knew she would get fined and she’s ok with it. If she wants to prioritize her mental health, good for her! What’s your problem?

She not obligated to speak fake media yes you are an athlete didn't know sport put you there or make you famous hard work is what made you famous you don't have to explain to anyone they should already know it was hard work and you're not obligate

Its part of the rules of the open, 🤷🏿 She knew what was going to happen when she decided to do the publicity stunt. The French open officials aren't going to coward to this girl.

Another one who thinks she can do whatever she wants!!!

Do rolandgarros officials think they can bully a player with mental health issues into doing media interviews? She's there to play tennis. How is it okay to force her to talk or walk? Disgusting. Osaka

Seems like a lame excuse from a sullen, pouty rich kid who doesn't want to do something she doesn't like. But that's just me.

Time for her to grow up. Press is part of the game. It gathers revenue. No revenue no money honey

No more strings on her!👍🏾

Sounds like Jessie smollet scam!

Would this happen or has this happened to other players?

Ridiculous...

Good for her!

Why does she have to talk to media?

Worth it.

What happens if she doesnt pay?

That's disgusting they would penalise her for looking after her mental health. Those press interviews can be so toxic. They should be ashamed.

Only bad words will describe this situation. Amazing so many unashame of displaying such. Turn the tables & the same would cry for mercy & understanding.

Naomi made 55,000,000 last year. If she misses 10 press interviews during the French Open, that's only 150,000. That's hamburger money to Naomi Osaka.

Infantile French response.

I hope she wins and then walk off the court after receiving her Trophy

WTA rolandgarros shame on y'all prioritizing your publicity over an athlete's mental health. 👎👎👎 frenchopen2021

I’m on Team Naomi!

THAT is insane. Tennis has ALWAYS been crazy. Let her do what she needs to do to win, the press doesn't OWN her.

Naomi Osaka Slapped With $15k Fines for Not Doing Press at the French OpenLast week, Naomi Osaka announced that she would not be doing any press at the French Open, happening now through June 13 in Paris, in an effort to protect her mental health.\n Ridiculous I have yet to find a press confrence from any of today's matches. I would like to see what the lovers of today's matches have to say about losing. FFS. Maybe if these press events weren't so banal and insulting, but even then. Glad she's taking care of herself. And, preemptively, suggesting the fine should go to charity.
