When Naomi Osaka announced she was opting out of press during the 2021 French Open, she said she hoped her hefty fine would, at the very least, go to a mental health organization. Well, Osaka was indeed slapped with the full $15,000 fine and threatened with further punishments, leading her to subsequently drop out of the tournament. On social media, Osaka explained she didn't want to be a "distraction" to the other players and explained her past struggles with depression and social anxiety, especially when speaking to press.
