Naomi Osaka – After the Japanese withdraw: Grand Slam tournaments announce ‘meaningful improvements’

“Mental health is a very difficult topic and deserves our greatest attention,” said a statement from the French Open, US Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon.

Osaka was commended for “sharing in her own words the pressures and fears she feels. We understand the unique stresses that tennis players can experience.”

The Grand Slam took over this project. “Together as a community, we will continue to improve the players’ experience in our tournaments, including in relation to the media,” the statement said. The changes must apply to all players, “regardless of rank or status”.
