Nike and other major sponsors have come out in support of tennis star Naomi Osaka following her decision to withdraw from the French Open tournament. The sports apparel giant -- which signed a sponsorship deal with Osaka in 2019 -- applauded the athlete in a statement on Monday for opening up about her struggle with depression. "Our thoughts are with Naomi. We support her and recognize her courage in sharing her own mental health experience," Nike said. Similar statements were issued by other companies that sponsor Osaka, including MasterCard, Swiss luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer, Nissin Foods and Sweetgreen.
