Western & Southern Open sponsor to match Naomi Osaka's Haiti relief donation

Naomi Osaka has pledged to donate all won prize money at the Cincinnati Masters to Haiti relief efforts after an earthquake and the event sponsor will match it.
Just as the Western & Southern Open got properly underway the island country of Haiti was struck by another devastating earthquake. The last time the country was struck by an earthquake was in 2010 and now it happened again. Naomi Osaka has Haitian heritage with her father being a native of the country.
That prompted the Japanese player to pledge to donate all of her winning from this year's edition of the Cincinnati Masters. Her donation will be matched by the sponsor of the event the Western & Southern financial group. The news was shared on the official Twitter page of the event albeit no press release has been given as of now.
Osaka fans will want to see the Japanese player win the event but considering that all of that prize money would go to Haiti's earthquake relief efforts neutral fans might find a reason to cheer for her deep run as well.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
