[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naomi was not suspended or expelled. She was told that *might* happen if she continued to flaunt the rules.  No one can say how many times she could "pay the fine" before that consequence occurred.  Naomi chose to remove herself voluntarily.

"We have advised Naomi Osaka that should she continue to ignore her media obligations during the tournament, she would be exposing herself to possible further Code of Conduct infringement consequences. As might be expected, repeat violations attract tougher sanctions including default from the tournament (Code of Conduct article III T.) and the trigger of a major offence investigation that could lead to more substantial fines and future Grand Slam suspensions (Code of Conduct article IV A.3.)."

She “chose” to withdraw — after the old guys got together and came up with a plan to threaten her.  So, yeah, it was “voluntary “, but in the context of threatening her expulsion not just from the French Open, but from all of the Grand Slam tournaments — something they came up with just for her.
