Naomi Osaka, another nutcase.

Tennis player, Naomi Osaka will not take questions from the media at the French Open, citing the impact of news conferences on the mental health of players.


"I've often felt that people have no regard for athletes' mental health and this rings true whenever I see a press conference or partake in one,"

Grand Slam rules state players can be fined up to $20,000 (£14,160) for failing to meet their media obligations.



Perhaps she should just sit at home then there would be no media attention at all.

This is just an overpaid sports person who cannot stand criticism, serve her right if media refuse to interview her.

Ashleigh Barty never seems to have a problem facing the media. She always conducts herself in a dignified and sporting way and she never fails to make us proud. Many of her peers have called her one of the sanest people in tennis. She is world number 1 but it hasn't affected her one little bit. She is no show pony. She also happens to be Naomi's hit up partner. Maybe she can change her mind. It does sound a bit precious on Naomi's part.

Just because a person is brilliant at sport, don't mean they don't experience Social Anxiety Disorder.

Refusing to give interviews only increases the media interest.

Part and parcel of being a professional sports person.

Youtube has shown us the real creme de la creme, who will never allow a microphone to be shoved in their faces, just to show the presonalities what's what.

Re: Naomi Osaka, another nutcase.

That turned out to be an expensive (£10,000 approx.) refusal to speak to the media,
according to this news report:
