Wimbledon 2022 : Naomi Osaka Withdraws With ‘Achilles’ Injury

Wimbledon 2022 : Former world number one Naomi Osaka pulled out of Wimbledon on Saturday with an Achilles injury. “My Achilles still isn’t right so I’ll see you next time,” the four-time Grand Slam winner posted on Twitter.

Osaka, 24, was already considering not playing over the ATP and WTA tours decision to strip Wimbledon of ranking points after the All England Club banned Russian and Belarusian players in response to the invasion of Ukraine.

Osaka’s tweet, although not mentioning Wimbledon clearly, was accompanied by a photo of herself on a grass court, and an emoji of a blade of grass.
