Tearful Osaka addresses crowd after fan heckles
Naomi Osaka was heckled during her second-round loss at Indian Wells on Saturday and asked to address the crowd afterward to explain why it made her so upset.

While affirming that such a comment is clearly out of bounds in an individual sport (fine for a team sport), would a non-neurotic player react so markedly to such an ejaculation from the crowd? How can anyone compete at the highest levels with this level of sensitivity? Doesn't it encourage others to repeat the taunting (to help another player)?
I know Osaka must have a sports psychologist in her Posse. She isn't doing a very good job, in my opinion.
