She was punished for "Not talking to the Press after the matches..."
Seems like a joke, but the Press does controls everyone, hummmm???

"Osaka is at odds with the Women’s Tennis Association and had been threatened with expulsion from the upcoming Grand Slam tournament event for her refusal to participate in press conferences after her matches. Osaka explained that pressure from the press is distracting and negatively impacts her game and her ability to perform with confidence."

Let’s be real. She withdrew because she’s an effing snowflake. Plain and simple.

I fully support players not having to speak to the press. That should be their choice. However, if it’s part of the publicity component of your multi-million dollar compensation plan, and you sign and agree to it, then you should be expected to hold up your end of the bargain. Don’t like it, negotiate a different contract or stay out of the big leagues where your feelings may be hurt.
 
I feel bad for her, but they say she did sign a contract. She does make a lot of money. Best I know she's already set for life. Deal, renegotiate or get out
