Per breaking news ESPN, Naomi has permanently withdrawn from Wimbledon.

I’m ok with this. These athletes are paid to play, not to preach. If she feels she can’t handle the heat or spotlight, quit, which she has done.

Time will tell when she decides to come back. But no doubt quitting, has shown that she is willing to walk away from the media. (Which will still be waiting for her when she decides to come back).

Good riddance. To a girl who used America to propelled her career, then blasted America as. "racist", only to maintain her Japanese citizenship - a nation that is as xenophobic as any on the planet.

A player putting their mental health ahead of money and fame? Oh no, what ever will we do?

Lets go find the next young sensation and burn them out by the age of 18.

She didn’t have a problem with it before.

What young sensations have been burned out by the age of 18?

Funny how she was able to speak her mind before and now chooses to play the martyr. Good riddance.

She should start her own tennis league. One that is just about tennis and nothing more.
