It may not be a punishment, but at least we all - including ms Osaka - get to see the offender.

It seems like life has not got better for Naomi.....

She's now being sued, alongside Sam Bankman-Fried, as a party allegedly responsible for the loss of $11bn by the FTX crypto investors

A dozen or so high-profile parties, including Naomi, are named in the action, as "parties who either controlled, promoted, assisted in, and actively participated in' FTX's operations", which allegedly breached Florida law.

This is on top of her her own personal investment which probably is not worth a great deal/anything now

Don't think it's any real surprise but Naomi has now withdrawn from the Aussie Open

Never has one player gone from hero to zero in my eyes like Naomi.

GAMEOVER · Pro player

Lost a pound and found a penny? Tennis wise it might be the case as Naomi Osaka was replaced in the draw by Dayana Yastremska who has lost the last 7 singles matches she has played in the Grand Slams . Her last GS singles win was in 2020 before her drugs suspension. Parks , Noskova and Masarova would have been better replacements but all lost in qualifying.

She's just tweeted that she's pregnant and will return to AO 2024

That may be considered to be jumping to a conclusion.

To make it clear, my lack of love for recent Naomi has been long before the AO sadly.

I was a big fan previously though so very pleased for her. She clearly needed time to focus on something outside tennis and hopefully this will bring her a lot of joy.
