Actor Will Smith expressed his support for tennis star Naomi Osaka on Thursday after she withdrew from the French Open.
Roger Federer had to battle through a tough four-setter on Thursday against former World No. 3 Marin Cilic. Normally, needing to squeeze through a second-round match would not be great news for the 20-time Grand Slam champion.
While a dispute over “playing too slow” caused a brief delay, Roger Federer regrouped and defeated Marin Cilic, 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2. The victory advanced Federer to the third round at Roland Garros, his first major tournament in 16 months.
Recently withdrawing from the French Open, tennis star Naomi Osaka joined other high-profile athletes such as former Raptor DeMar DeRozan and swimmer Michael Phelps in pushing the once-taboo topic of mental health in sports into the spotlight.
