Naomi Osaka was fined USD$15,000 and slammed by other players for refusing to speak to media at the French Open.

Grand Slam officials threatened to suspend Osaka from future tournaments after she boycotted press conferences during the French Open.

Osaka is currently no. 2 in the world and after her round one victory in Paris.

She skipped the mandatory post-match presser. This comes following a recent statement that she would not do media at Roland Garros due to mental health concerns.

If the fines continue and Osaka progresses into the second week of the tournament, the Japanese superstar could amass more than 100 thousand in penalties overall.
