She has become the best-paid woman in sports, earning about $60 million last year according to Forbes, and almost universally positive coverage hasnвЂ™t hurt her ability to build a portfolio that includes swimwear and skin care lines, two Nike sneakers and the Naomi Osaka bowl at Sweetgreen. Another recent question concerned what she planned to wear to the Met Gala, a high-society Manhattan event of which she is a co-chair. She was bothered by questions about her performance on clay courts. Osaka wasnвЂ™t being grilled about her personal life or her mental health. Most players roll with them without complaint. While tennis news conferences can be quite weird - some local journalist in the room amuses the traveling press by confusing one Russian player for another, or asks a particularly off-the-wall question - the mood is usually pretty sedate. Osaka walked into the middle of that dynamic during the French Open.
