Japanese tennis player fined $15,000 for skipping the news conference after her first-round victory at Roland Garros.
Japan’s tennis player Naomi Osaka could be thrown out of the French Open if she continues to boycott post-match news conferences at the tournament, the board of Grand Slam tennis tournaments said. Osaka, who was fined $15,000 for skipping the news conference after her first-round victory at Roland Garros, could also face suspension from other Grand Slam tournaments, it added. Earlier this week, the four-time Grand Slam champion said she would not face the press during the French Open, citing mental health reasons.More Related News
