How Much Can Naomi Osaka Be Fined for Missing Press Conferences at French Open 2021?

Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka has arrived at Roland Garros for the French Open 2021. But apparently, she will not participate in any press conferences during the tournament. The 23-year-old star penned down her decision in regards to the mental health of athletes.

 

 

However, she might face monetary action if she excludes herself from talking to the press. Recently, the reigning Australian Open champion Naomi Osaka took to Twitter to reveal her decision.

 

 

 

 

She firmly believes that the questions asked in the press disregard the mental health of athletes. Moreover, she also added that they inflict doubts in the players’ minds, which she would not want in Paris.

 

 

According to the guidelines, players cannot omit press conferences during any ATP tournaments. In case they do, they would face a hefty penalty. Additionally, the penalised amount in Grand Slam tournaments can be as high as $20K. For instance, the Serbian ace Novak Djokovic paid a $7,500 fine when he opted out from a press conference following his US Open disqualification.

 

 

What’s interesting is Osaka knows that fact and is even ready to pay the fine. However, she hopes for the money to benefit her cause.

Furthermore, the Japanese-born also highlighted how the press conferences take a toll on the players. She added that many athletes have broken down in public for the same reason.
