Today, she played doubles with her favorite player, @RafaelNadal .
What a moment 🥰 #Rally4Relief

LIVE, it's called the Tennis (Re) Open Bett1Aces Berlin Tournament.
Grass courts, a maximum 800 audience (and I can see they are very spaced out in the stands). No line judges, it is all by electronics, the ballgirls (I have only seen girls, oops there's a boy) have on masks but haven't seen any of the audience wearing them.

So funny, instead of shaking hands when the match is over, they "clink" rackets, LOL.

LOL, thank you, Dipo! I saw a headline earlier about the Seattle Kraken and considering it's 2020 and no telling what other horrible crap can happen this year, I was afraid to read it.

US Open ... So weird ... when they introduce the players for the match they are playing audience sounds, while the stands are empty.
So odd to see.

I'm pretty surprised that they disqualified him. He shouldn't have hit the ball that way but it wasn't that hard and I don't think he was at all aiming at her.

WHOA ... Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from the French Open and it seems to be from "mental health" issues.
They fined her because she didn't do press and she made a sort of cryptic press release (IMO) about the press conferences can be damaging to your confidence, etc.; so now she has left the tournament.

Tennis star Naomi Osaka withdraws from the French Open. She'd been fined for not talking to media at the event, citing mental health reasons.

Well, they forced her position, didn't they? She said she wouldn't do press, and they made a statement that if anyone wouldn't do press, they couldn't compete.
So, what choice did she have?
Personally, I get it. The French Press especially is overbearing and intrusive.

She did post a long commentary about how she has had depression and was an introvert by nature so media has already been hard for her.
From what the announcers have said there was "commentary" going back and forth and it just got worse every day.
Finally resulting in her withdrawal.
