Osaka quits French grand slam...and tennis?

**KiDBaZkiT** · 05-31-21, 02:57 PM

She can always be a bikini model. Those pics of her in a yellow bikini

**ronald** · 05-31-21, 03:00 PM

Wowk!

**KVB** · 05-31-21, 03:01 PM

Media contact is 100% a part of being an athlete.

Not just playing your game.

The two go hand in hand.

She might as well say she likes to play tennis but hates returning serves.

It's all a part of the jump to that level, and you get paid for it too.

I bet she liked the checks she got for success.

Next thing you know she'll tell people not to look at her pictures.

The one's she took and approved for public consumption.

**KiDBaZkiT** · 05-31-21, 03:03 PM

Omg look at her!!!

**slayer14** · 05-31-21, 03:05 PM

She not a good looker, but what can she do when she got anxiety it a crippling mental illness

Yup.

To have that and then to have to perform at a top level with all eyes on her.

Hopefully she can get it under control and get back to it.

The high profile life is definitely not for everyone.

**RudyRuetigger** · 05-31-21, 03:12 PM

Do not like her in general but agree with her here

Fukk the media

She's there to play tennis

I wish she would've said I'm just here so I don't get fined

**dmm** · 05-31-21, 03:12 PM

Totally respect her decision. The French Open officials were foolish attempting to fine her into submission.

Maybe in the future she will take a page out of the Marshawn Lynch interview playbook.

Or just answer every question in Japanese, or with so many expletives that the clips aren't fit for broadcast.

**pavyracer** · 05-31-21, 03:14 PM

Great decision. I always said the media are assholes. Like the ones who don't vote Pete Rose in the hall of fame.

**jjgold** · 05-31-21, 03:16 PM

every player did not agree with her

She was way wrong

Glad she is out and players are too

Media huge part building the brand

Go drive a bus then..she makes massive money too

**lonegambler23** · 05-31-21, 03:17 PM

no sympathy gtf back to work and grab ur millions.. fukking whiner.

**KVB** · 05-31-21, 03:22 PM

Maybe they should have made the decision for her when it comes to the tournament.

Screw fines. No media day no play.

If health is the issue, then you forfeit the tourney.

**fried cheese** · 05-31-21, 03:23 PM

its silly to make athletes do press conferences anyways. athletes are only allowed to say non controversial stuff or they get fined/suspended. its just fake boring crap.

**BarkingToad** · 05-31-21, 03:26 PM

Good for her! If she needs a break, and is rich, why not.

**SamsNCharge99** · 05-31-21, 03:27 PM

Irony in french open president speaking to the media about the situation and then refuses to take questions

I hear that.

It's part of the business and you'd think they'd give them some freedoms, a little controversey is good for business.

At least it used to be.

Now you can get cancelled.

**KiDBaZkiT** · 05-31-21, 03:31 PM

I’d do her sock and panty laundry for free.

**jjgold** · 05-31-21, 03:36 PM

A lot of you guys are dopes

Every tennis player today said part of the job and paid big money sponsors and tourneys your better talk

Public figures so they get praised and criticized, cant just play sports at that level and not answer questions negative or positive

The sport would fold

That's right.

You want to play at that level, know that it goes hand in hand with promotion and media.

That's one of the reasons they get the big bucks. It's one of the reasons there are big bucks.

Media makes players big money too, she thought she was bigger than the game and they told her fuk you

Fuk her

**bruceBRUCEbruce** · 05-31-21, 03:44 PM

she seems to have no problem posting on social media about herself or about products she's hawking for her sponsors.

But if she quit and has legit anxiety then good for her.

If she keeps playing and complaining and skipping out, but still playing and taking bikini pics.

Then fuk her.

And also, fukkk her, right Baz???...

She’s cute as hell. Damn right FUKKKK HER. In all 3 NO GLOVE!!!!

**jjgold** · 05-31-21, 04:00 PM

She is a scumbag

another ploy to make money like pretending she is black with BLM

She is not depressed all BS, did not get her way

French was going to default her anyway so she quit

That is the real story

**KVB** · 05-31-21, 04:02 PM

That's what I'm saying. Screw fines, you don't fulfill the contract, you default.

It's tough.

But it's business. Athletes try to get it all sometimes.

But she might also be breaking down. Don't forget that.

At least she quit on her own volition, I assume.

Let's see what happens next.
