The French Open has deleted a post on its Twitter feed which praised players for attending media conferences as Naomi Osaka’s press boycott continued to overshadow the Grand Slam. The Twitter post was deleted but not before being shared widely. Former doubles world number one and tennis pundit Rennae Stubbs said the post was “humiliating” for Osaka. “I understand your attempt at making a point but this isn’t a good look,” she tweeted. Change makes people uncomfortable.”The Japanese world number two next faces Romanian Ana Bogdan.
