Mistakes on both sides but Osaka clearly the worst party

Just says on Twitter she wouldn’t be speaking to the press because they make her doubt herself (she’s really s**t on clay fwiw) and then refuses to enter into any dialogue with the french open when they reach out to talk to her about any issues she has. Then her sister puts a message on Reddit confirming she won’t talk to the press as a strategy to give her a better chance of winning. Perhaps she will leave some of her sponsorship deals which make her the richest female athlete on the planet if she wants to create less pressure for herself.

This from a former player sums it up well

Even if you agree with what Osaka is trying to get across and you think it can be a little unfair at times, the way she has gone about it is extraordinary. No dialogue with the WTA, no dialogue with Roland Garros or with the other Grand Slams at all.
The first they heard of any difficulties or strains was the statement to say she is protesting about it. It is a combative way of going about business from arguably one of the most powerful tennis players.
