While Osaka did not owe us an explanation on why she elected not to play, she is famous. She is far more than just a professional tennis player. Osaka is one of the most well-known<!-- --> athletes in the entire world. A true A-list celebrity. Naturally, we are going to be curious about why she isn\u2019t playing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Anything that she says and does can, and will be used against her in the court of public opinion. She was the highest-paid<!-- --> female athlete in the world in 2022, even though she had a rough season. Osaka lost early in the Australian Open, French Open, and U.S. Open. She didn\u2019t even take the court during Wimbledon due to an Achilles<!-- --> injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">All of her on-court struggles in 2022 resulted in people letting their imaginations run wild on why she elected not to play in the first major tournament of the season.

They would have expressed their disappointment in one other star participant dropping out of the primary main of the season \u2014 Venus Williams and Carlos Alcaraz are additionally not enjoying \u2014 and left it at that.

The extra well-known an athlete, the extra that each single transfer that athlete makes might be scrutinized, and the new takes come shortly, The social media accounts \u2014 each actual and bots \u2014 get rolling instantly. Then comes<!-- --> the weblog posts, takes on debate exhibits, after which the columns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">There is not any slowing down the hypothesis machine as soon as it will get rolling. Feed it a star, and a bit of stories that solutions who, what,<!-- --> and the place, however doesn\u2019t present a how and why, and the machine can run all day. It isn\u2019t powered by electrical energy, it\u2019s powered by nosiness<!-- -->.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">It would have been good if we let Osaka inform us <!-- -->why she wouldn\u2019t be enjoying within the first main of the tennis season on her personal time.
