I think Naomi wins because she can take the time off and treat her illness, and the tournaments win because they can continue to fulfill their end of the bargain to their stakeholders.

I also hope that Naomi can get the help and support she needs and also takes as much time as she needs to get healthy. While I understand that attending press conferences are part of the job for athletes, it could have been handled much differently than it was. Put it this way, if she takes the Marshawn Lynch approach and says "I'm just here so I won't get fined", that will likely just exacerbate the situation.
