REUTERS: The French Open has deleted a post on its Twitter feed which praised players for attending media conferences as Naomi Osaka's press boycott continued to overshadow the Grand Slam.
Osaka was fined US$15,000 for skipping her news conference after her first round win on Sunday and was warned of possible expulsion from Roland Garros and future Grand Slams if she failed to meet her media commitments. Former doubles world number one and tennis pundit Rennae Stubbs said the post was"humiliating" for Osaka."I understand your attempt at making a point but this isn’t a good look," she tweeted.
