These new tennis players are soft af crying...hitting chairs
Its everybodies fault but their own.
If you cant take "u suck" if you suck makes you cry. You are not ready to return on the court.
The Atp is worse tho... Tsitsi, Zverev, Theim, Med.. they're all arrogant pos, always bytching and crying when things dont go their way.

The longer she fights it the worse it’s gonna get.
I was at Ashe for the Open when they booed the hell out of Djokovic and at the end of the day he still handed that guy his ass. I know her mental health matters but it’s giving bad optics to keep trying to stop matches because her feelings are hurt. I get it majority of sports fans really suck and are racist but I don’t think this is the hill she wants to go out on. Just my two cents.
You don’t get to be number one without someone somewhere feeling some type of way (even when they can’t do half the stuff you can).

Osaka's cooked. That's light work compared to what the other greats have heard. It really is as simple as she needs to toughen up and get thicker skin.
indeed. If she plays in the FO and face a French player, that Parisian crowd is gonna SWALLOW her

Fans are always gonna be POS she really has something wrong with her though... mentally she's all the way off

So she got smoked and then tried to tie some heckling to actual racism. This ain’t it at all 
toughen up please or else skip the French cause they are going to cook the hell out of you

Fully agree, I hate that the general response to your later point from the general public is that you don't care about mental health
It's not getting any easier, something needs to be done and it's not creating a special set of circumstances just for her

I know it sounds cynical, but I'm kind of convinced that a lot of it is exaggerated.
Maybe her mental health struggles are not the actual reason for failure, so much as it is a defense measure/brand protection measure when she fails to succeed through simply not being good enough at a certain time/place.
For instance, yesterday, she shyt the bed. In short order, she transformed the storyline from one of a heralded athlete failing to meet expectations and underperforming, to one of a heralded athlete undone yet again by forces outside her control (the press, the referee, the tournament, the a$$hole fans, etc.). That's what everyone is taking away from this; not her actual loss. And, as a bonus, she manages to compare herself to the Williams sisters in a "standing on the shoulders of giants" moment, and has everyone following her lead. It's brilliant brand protection.
If it were calculated, of course.

Not the same. She's actually had plenty of success. But the same hands-off media training that enabled her to be a fan favorite when she was on the come up is the same lack of media training that is failing her now.
Her heart just isn't into the tennis grind anymore, and that's fine. She no longer needs tennis to be successful. If she still loved the grind and really wanted to be amongst the best in the world, a "you suck" chant wouldn't bother her that much.

I want to get excited about Gael potentially beating Danill here, but awaiting him is freaking Alcaraz.
