Otherwise, she would not be at this Gala dressed like a Cosmic Samurai/Geisha. She is releasing a new line of skin care products, so she is not bothered with her entrepreneurial activities. She is not choking on court (she lost in three tight sets to a player that ended up proving she was playing top notch tennis) so whatever it is, it is not affecting her tennis to that extreme. Whatever the mental issue is, it is very hard to explain.
Hope she figures it out.

Not like her look? Sure. But this was a completely expected look, and it's not one that typically registers with Western audiences. It's very much in line with what she's presented professionally and an easy call for the Met Gala. Not sure what you guys were anticipating. The only thing I got wrong was the color palette of the look, the rest was as I thought it would be for her.

And I'd say it's more appropriate to call the Japanese influences in the dress and overall look to be influenced by Kabuki and Kimono styles. But there's also Haitian influences in the dress.
