A joint statement from the four Grand Slam organisers said Osaka also faces "more substantial fines and future Grand Slam suspensions". The Grand Slams added that following Osaka's announcement on Wednesday, Roland Garros teams asked the 23-year-old to reconsider her position and were unsuccessful in their attempts to check on her wellbeing. After a "lack of engagement" from Osaka, the Grand Slam organisers wrote to her to offer support, as well as to "remind her of her obligations". "As might be expected, repeat violations attract tougher sanctions, including default from the tournament and the trigger of a major offence investigation that could lead to more substantial fines and future Grand Slam suspensions." No dialogue with the WTA, no dialogue with Roland Garros or with the other Grand Slams at all.
