Four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka kept true to her word and skipped her first press interview on Sunday, May 30, 2021, after her French Open match. Osaka revealed last week that she wouldn’t be granting press interviews during the French Open, citing mental health concerns and that reporters often “kick athletes when they’re down.” She was fined $15,000 for missing her first press conference and was told that further action may be taken if she continues to boycott the media. The 23-year-old Osaka defeated Romanian World No. 63 Patricia Maria Tig in her opening round victory, 6-4, 7-6 (7/4).
