    My only thought about the Naomi Osaka drama: would there even be a discussion if she'd missed press conferences due to (say) a broken bone? Mental health is health

        if she couldn't play then yes. it's in her contract. damn. what's so difficult about understanding this? media provides the coverage which supports the sponsors which pay her salary. elite players have contractual obligations. it's not rocket science.

        Her timing & approach were off (which she has rightfully acknowledged). Having said that, the response she got from tennis officials was defs over the top & unnecessary. Sad to see it end this way but proud of her nonetheless.

        If you’re not well then “timing and approach” is the last thing you’re thinking about. Would you say someone’s timing and approach where wrong if they rang in sick after breaking an arm?

        It comes with the sport though. If can't cope with that aspect of the sport, then she could consider not being a pro and playing locally. In your example, she wouldn't be able to play if she had a broken bone so if she is unwell, she shouldn't be playing.

        Then one may wonder whether something has gone wrong with the pro version of the sport.

        I have no interest in tennis as a sport, but I adore her. Good on her for being strong and being an advocate for herself. It's obvious that the French Open only sees her as a money making thing, not even a person

        From what I've observed about her, whatever it is she does, she's got a good reason for doing it. I'm on Team Osaka.
