He refused to speak to reporters: Osaka leaves the Australian Open due to psychiatric problems

The world's number 2 was announced by organisers that it would be excluded from the competition if it continued to avoid journalists after being sentenced to a $150,000 fine because it failed to appear in two press conferences, following victory in the first round Sunday, the Periscope broadcast.

Osaka, four-time Grand Slam champion, has now withdrawn, adding that she will spend some time outside the field because of psychological problems.

In a communiqué posted in Titter, she said she was feeling <x0fragjil and anxious” before the competition and was leaving so that everyone would focus on tennis right now.

Its decision not to speak to the media was made on the most controversial issue, with the organisers of the Grand Slams publishing a joint communiqué that threatened to disqualify it in future competitions. /Periscope. com/
