Osaka and Townsend's dinner for Black players at French Open caused 'bit of a stir' on social media

Naomi Osaka and Taylor Townsend are piling up wins on the court at the French Open. “It caused a bit of a stir, which I thought was pretty funny because for so long we have been the ones that (are) the minority in a sport where we kind of stick out,” Townsend said about chatter on social media. While Townsend said the reaction from her Instagram post about the evening was “mostly positive,” she said there was also online criticism.
