Najdorf:
Lol you can never expect Nairalanders to understand anything having to do with mental health

Fiscus105:
go back and study the rules of the tennis game, on and off Field


rules not only apply on the pitch alone but off pitch bro.


one of rules of football is that player must not directly or indirectly involve in betting, I biliv you know betting takes place off the pitch.


if you remain adamant to simple explanation, bye

Wao

I’m going to miss her.
I have no option than looking out for Coco Gauff then.

Why do they have to mandate it for every player to appear before the press to speak?

This is a player I prefer seeing and enjoying her dexterity with the racket rather than her verbal response.

stayclearofme:
It is the rule of the game because in nearly all tennis tournaments players talk to the press.
So she should abide by the rules... She could have written a letter to the organisers through her Doctor stating her medical conditions and the reason why they should allow her to opt out.. Not by all these gra gra.

Reading through her writeup really tells alot about her in terms of been an introvert really , not everyone can face the media/public in term of speech . At times we need to understand each other personality,because she didn't speak to the press she was fined,that's pure nonsense ,is it by force to speak? This white people self get them own yeye problem saa ahnahn

Game is a physical activity governed by a set of rules.
Tennis playing is a game, talking to the press isn’t part of the game rule.
Roland Garros (French open) is an event or tournament like every other Grand Slams Which is governed by rules which speaking to the press is inclusive

MeghaneMorgane:
If that is what she wants to do, let her do it. Make we no go hear say person commit suicide because she was struggling with mental health. Sister, do you. Just know that it might affect your career though. But if you have no problem with the effect it will have on your career. Do you and be happy Naomi Osaka

stayclearofme:
You just dey yern English! Rules or whatever you call it.. she should abide by it. That is the standard if she cannot she should do so thru her Doctor that is my point.

Amotolongbo:
i am happy that you’ve learnt something tonight

stayclearofme:
Olodo..wetin u sabi?
No need arguing with people like you nor be u? I know you very well.

Amotolongbo:
At least, I’ve been able to elevate your ignorance level a bit tonight.

It isn’t easy being a teacher on nairaland, most especially on a Monday evening

Elchechereche2:
She knows she can't win this.Roland garros is clay court, and the favorites are actually unpopular here.my moneybis on Swiatek iga

stayclearofme:
Mumu go and elevate your husband's ignorance with your thrash and meaningless comments.

Myer:
It's mandatory because the press play a major role in the success of the tournament.
Sidelining the press is considered disrespectful.

If she was not fined, others would follow suit.

While I respect her decision,i just hope she wont be banned from future tournaments. Hopefully she has a fail-safe proof to back up her mental health excuse.

Slymonster:
Do you know those media house pay to get them interview. They are part of sponsors and they pay to have the rights for such interview. It is business in sport, if she was introvert like she said. She should have just remain local and not go on the big stage. Before you enter a tournament, they have their own rules. Interviews are all part of sporting lifestyle. We all tune to listen whether trash or sober or angry or whatever. Serena has cried on tv after losing alot of final, did she die? No, She carried on.
This is how people get to spoil the sporting feeling we all love.

She should be very careful starting this war she can't finish. The media can make you and also break you fully.

Tennis No. 2 seed, Naomi Osaka was fined $15000 in the wake of
her infringement of mandatory media interviews at Roland-Garros.

Naomi Osaka announced last week via social media, that she would not participate in the mandatory media interviews at Roland-Garros 2021.

Today, the top seed has announced she will withdraw from Roland Garros, citing mental health reasons



Naomi Osaka

Cry baby.
No one will miss you.

Serena, over to you. The overprotected baby is gone!

Osaka has won four Singles Grand Slams and is the reigning Champion at the US Open and the Australian Open

Boye33:
One of the many travails of a deep rooted introvert.

Ehisod:
When she was beating Serena left, right, and center she did not have wahala being an extrovert, now that her form seems to have dipped she is making claims and taking stands. I beg let her park to one side let the games continue joor.

Amotolongbo:
My hubby isn’t foolish and an ignoramus

Drop that masculin ego and admit that you have learnt from me tonight

Lonelypacifist6:
She just put the second nail in the coffin of her career, Pulling out of such a prestigious tournament, Brands and organizers would be wary of her.
Learn to deal with failures so you wouldn't have to lie to cover up your fragility.
