She threw her racket after she lost a match and said she was taking a break from tennis. Maybe something else too

But seriously she is having some sort of mental issue. Idk what exactly it is, but she just doesn't look like she can hold it together.

I just wish she'd stop acting like it is the medias fault just for asking her questions. The last time she broke down in tears her publicist or whatever tried calling it an aggressive toned question when it simply was not. There are other instances of her having disproportionate reactions to the media.

She needs someone who can coach her up on handling media. It seems really simple honestly. Just say next question if you don't want to answer.

People are so bad at acknowledging mental illness

No severe depression and anxiety isn't "being a wimp"

On the contrary , doing the shit she has done despite her mental state took extraordinary bravery.

It bugs me because we are a century behind where we need to be for mental healthcare and guys like TC work tirelessly to keep it that way

I don't think her views on the police are related to her losing the touch on her forehand in the second set last night, personally.

It's hard watching her breaking down during press conferences. She has mental health issues that she really needs to address. Fuck tennis for awhile, take care of yourself.

This and she needs to stop blaming the press for her breakdowns. They aren't doing anything to cause this. She is having break downs over something routine.

@Kitt

I think it is weird that you use people's opinions on whether the highest paid female tennis star in the world is handling her situation appropriately as a measuring stick of their empathy.

Quite frankly, she needs to hold her composure better in matches and handle the media better.

Her trying to blame the reality of her mental health on press conferences is just absurd. She can give "next question" type answers or skip press conferences and pay a fine she can easily afford. Instead, she drops out of a tournament entirely.

She very likely is having something of a mental health issue and certainly she should do everything she can to get that taken care of, but when she tries to blame the media for her own mental health issues she really goes over the line. No need for her to attack anyone in the media for just doing their jobs in promoting tennis.

this actually ties into the narrative that spews when males have a tantrum (hes emotional, let him vent) and when women have tantrums (she should know better). This is just the misogyny of the sport embodying itself as such

Wtf type of response is this? He never said that makes never act like that. He said that many world champions never act like Naomi.

You can very easily criticize Naomi without it in any way devolving to sexism.

What an absurd embarrassment of an argument you just made.
