Piers wrote an article in Daily Mail over the weekend, just hours before she made the shocking decision. He showed no mercy or compassion -- instead, he bashed the 23-year-old and claiming she's taking a page out of Meghan Markle's mental health playbook.

Calling her mental health post an "orgy of narcissistic twaddle," Piers claimed, "What Osaka really means is that she doesn't want to face the media if she hasn't played well, because the beastly journalists might actually dare to criticize her performance, and she's not going to 'subject' herself to 'people that doubt me.'"

"This is straight out of the Meghan and Harry playbook of wanting to have the world's largest cake and eating it, by exploiting the media for ruthlessly commercial self-promotion but using mental health to silence any media criticism," he continued.

"I'm sorry (not really…) if this offends any of the delicate little snowflakes out there who believe all this self-serving garbage, but Osaka's antics stink of a stupendous ego raging out [of] control," he added.

While Piers is knocking Osaka while she's down, several athletes are showing her including fellow tennis champ Serena Williams, NBA superstar Steph Curry, and NFL player Russell Wilson.
