Naomi Osaka, the young tennis star, was mocked by fans for her latest tweet. Last year, Osaka gained notoriety when she chose to skip press conferences at the French Open to safeguard her mental health. As a result of her decision, all four Grand Slams joined forces to threaten her with harsher penalties, including disqualification. Despite her successful return to tennis in 2022, the Japanese star has struggled to win any titles. However, her off-court endeavors have been very lucrative.

Fans were swift to ridicule the Japanese tennis player for recent tweet on Twitter. After a heartbreaking early exit from the US Open, the former world No. 1 announced an indefinite break and withdrew completely from the WTA Tour.
