Osaka’s boycott at French Open shows the times have changed

TENNIS player Naomi Osaka did not want any attention on herself at this year’s French Open.

And the 23-year-old four-time Grand Slam champion did what she thought was best – skip the “compulsory” press conference and tweeted her decision to the organisers even before the event in Roland Garros started.

She just wanted to play the game and not talk about the aftermath or even any other issues with the media. As she said later, it was her way of combating her depression.
