Naomi Osaka’s withdrawal from Roland Garros due to her phobia of speaking to journalists and fear of expressing herself in public continues to generate interest. Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has offered his support to the Japanese tennis player, who before withdrawing from the best clay court tournament, was fined 13,000 euros for not appearing before the media, as is mandatory for all players. The world’s number two tennis player said she had suffered “bouts of depression” since winning her first Grand Slam title in 2018.
