Tennis: Osaka fined and threatened with French Open
default over media boycott
Japanese superstar Naomi Osaka was on slotxo ดาวน์โหลด threatened with
disqualification from the French Open if she persists with her controversial media
boycott, officials said.
"We have advised Naomi Osaka that should she continue to ignore her media
obligations, she would be exposing herself to possible further code of conduct
infringement consequences," said a statement from the four Grand Slam
tournaments after issuing the world number two with a US$15,000 fine.
"As might be expected, repeat violations attract tougher sanctions including default
from the tournament."
Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam title winner and sport's highest-earning female
athlete, was fined for refusing to hold a press conference after her opening 6-4, 7-6
(7/4) victory over Romanian world number 63 Patricia Maria Tig.
The 23-year-old had said on the eve of the tournament that she would refuse to
carry out any media obligations, claiming news conferences are detrimental to her
mental health.
She believes traditional post-match inquests are akin to "kicking people when
they're down".
However, the four Grand Slam events - Wimbledon, the French, Australian and US
Opens - issued a joint statement, saying they had written to Osaka "to check on her
well-being and offer support".作者: cffsome123 時間: 2021-6-15 18:33
