The U.S. Open winner wore masks to highlight victims of police brutality throughout the tournament.
But there were apparently some critics as well, based on a tweet Osaka sent on Tuesday calling out people who want to keep pro sports walled off from the rest of the world.and promised to double down on what she says is “a human rights issue.”
