French Open 2021: Pablo Andujar stuns Dominic Thiem in first round; Naomi Osaka threatened with disqualification

Firstpost  

Osaka’s defiant stand overshadowed the opening day of the 2021 French Open which saw two-time runner-up Dominic Thiem crash at the first hurdle. “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.” Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam title winner and sport’s highest-earning female athlete, was sanctioned for refusing to hold a press conference after her opening 6-4, 7-6 victory over Romanian world number 63 Patricia Maria Tig. “There is nothing more important than ensuring no player has an unfair advantage over another, which unfortunately is the case in this situation if one player refuses to dedicate time to participate in media commitments while the others all honour their commitments.” If Osaka was to be disqualified, it would be as sensational as Novak Djokovic’s default at last year’s US Open where the world number one was booted out for hitting a line judge with a ball. So it’s good and bad.” Osaka’s defiant stand overshadowed the opening day of the 2021 French Open which saw two-time runner-up Dominic Thiem crash at the first hurdle.
