Pros Show Support for Naomi Osaka’s Withdrawal From French Open for Mental Health

Serena Williams is showing support for her rival Naomi Osaka after the young star withdrew from the French Open, citing anxiety and depression. Naomi’s stunning withdrawal came after she refused to hold a press conference in Paris, which is a violation of tournament rules. She was fined $15,000 and threatened with being kicked out of the French Open. Instead, she bowed out. Now other tennis stars are saying that changes are needed to take players’ mental health into consideration.
