Naomi Osaka was fined $15,000 after she skipped the news conference for ‘mental health’ reasons following her first-round victory at the French Open on Sunday.
The star was blasted by sports reporters including Fox Sports Radio host Rob Parker who said the French Open should have told Osaka not to show up for the tournament if she could not face answering questions.
‘If I was running the French Open, I’d tell her to stay home,’ Parker said on Fox Sports Radio. ‘I’d tell her take care of your mental health. You can’t come here and not participate in what we do.
