Naomi Osaka received the support of tennis fans, leading athletes, her sponsors and her country, Japan, Tuesday, after her withdrawal from the French Open. The world’s number two female tennis player surprised the tennis world on Monday when she said she would no longer play in the tennis championship. Osaka said on Twitter that she experiences “huge waves of anxiety” before speaking to the media and she has “suffered long bouts of depression since the US Open in 2018.” The decision came after Osaka was fined $15,000 for not attending a press conference after her first-round victory. She was also threatened by the French Open and other major championships with more punishment, including suspension. Osaka said she did not want to meet with the media to protect her mental health. Other leading tennis players argued at the time that dealing with the media was part of the job. But when she withdrew, there were many messages of support from around the world. The head of Japan Tennis Association said in a statement Tuesday, "I wish her the earliest possible recovery.” And Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato told reporters that he would watch over her quietly. There was also concern on the streets of Tokyo for Osaka who will represent Japan in this year's Olympic Games. Tomomi Noguchi helps people wear the traditional Japanese clothing, a kimono, for photos and events. I think she's under a lot of pressure, more than we can imagine, she told Reuters. She got to the top when she was young so I think we can't really imagine what she's going through. The sports business website Sportico says Osaka has made more than $55 million in the last 12 months, mainly from deals with sponsors like Nissin Foods, Nike and MasterCard. They all came out to support her decision and Nissan, the automobile company said, "We stand by her decision and wish her well.”
