I am a bit like 1x1 here.    There were a lot of things in my various jobs I had over the years that were not much fun at all.   I saw quite a few suicides  ( not live, but the end result ), that didnt do much for my mental health either. I wasnt getting paid the big bucks this girl is.  How hard is it to do a 5 min interview ?  She would garner a lot more sympathy doing 5 mins chat.  Not like she cant afford the best care available ?

& you will probably find in 10 years time Osaka will be on the other side of the court with a microphone in hand interviewing players - & getting paid millions to do so

I mean there are plenty of things in my daily work i would prefer i didn't have to do. Fact is those things come with the job - so you do them.

Bit like doing post-match interviews for her i would have thought.

I think that's a bit of a stretch PT. Not wanting to talk to the media is a bit different to jumping off the gap

She expressed her issues with interviews many times in the past including at the Australian Open earlier this year. 

When is a good or bad time to acknowledge you are struggling?

Never had a friend or family suicide and said ''where did that come from?''

I suppose it is easy to have cheap shots at her - like i did. Fact is though these elite sportspeople are probably wired a bit different to most. I mean its probably what makes the difference on top of just natural ability that gets them there. Add on the way most have been put on a pedestal & molly coddled all their lives & it makes more sense. 

Still a touch precious though LOLLOL

She has withdrawn from the French Open and is taking a break from tennis to deal with her well documented anxiety/mental health issues.

Osaka needs to realise that press conferences are part of the job. It’s one of the ways the sport gets publicity and helps generate the money she’s happy to have her hand out for. Imagine me saying Im not going to field any questions from the CEO about the company performance because he’s a real Christmas pudding and it makes me upset. How do you think that would go down?

However your point is quite reasonable Afross. 

They are poles apart - not because he is male & she female. More the fact that she has class & he doesn't LOL

Unfortunately she has picked the wrong mob taking on the French. Should have waited till January & she would have had a better outcome.

Now Osarka doesn't want to talk to the media at the French Open. Why ? Thousands of other players would give up a leg to get the sort of publicity she gets. And then she wants to bring BLM into the Tennis arena - & then wonders why she is in the firing line. Bit rich me thinks. Smells of wanting it both ways

Tonic is a total has-been who you could make a good argument never-even-was. But being trash on clay is nothing new. He’s only ever made it to the 2nd round at Roland Garros 3 times and only ever made one clay final on the challenger tour, not even the main ATP tour.  He’s garbage on the surface. Losing to this kid (who by all reports is a very good prospect) is not a surprise. Tomic was favourite but not a heavy favourite. Around 60%.

This is hardly the big news you think it is. Tomic was not even a massive favourite to win the match so the fact that he lost is no big surprise. He has always been garbage on clay anyway. The real news is that appeared not to remember who serves first after a tiebreak.

French Open: Anna Tatishvili forfeits £41,000 for 'falling below standard'

American player Anna Tatishvili has been fined her entire French Open first-round earnings of almost £41,000 for falling below the standard expected of a professional player at a Grand Slam.

Tatishvili, 29, lost 6-0 6-1 to Greek 29th seed Maria Sakkari in 55 minutes.

The former world number 50, who has had an ankle injury, was playing her first tour-level match since October 2017.

She used her protected ranking to enter Roland Garros.

Under Grand Slam rules, the match referee has the right to dock appearance money if it is felt a player used their protected ranking to play a tournament despite not being fit enough.

"All players are expected to perform to a professional standard in every Grand Slam match," Grand Slam rules state.

So why is Tomic allowed to tank ?   Hit him where it hurts.

I don’t bet the game markets, just trade the match odds market back and forward each service game generally up to 3-3 or 4-4 in the 1st set.

A retirement will almost always come inbetween games so if betting the game market it would already be resolved prior to any retirement. I’m not sure how they treat it (resolve or refund) in the very rare occasion where a player quits mid game or has some serious injury that means they can’t complete the next couple of points.
