Naomi Osaka withdraws from the Australian Open following a recent rash of withdrawals due to injury last year.
Naomi Osaka withdrew from the Australian Open on Saturday just over a week until the tournament begins.
She had been set to play a second round match against Beatriz Haddad Maia at the September tournament when she spoke about the news in a press conference,"It’s an honor to be able to play at the Toray Pan Pacific Open in front of the amazing fans here in Japan," Osaka said."This has and always will be a special tournament for me and I wish I could have stepped on court today, but my body won’t let me. Thank you for all your support this week and I will see you next year.
“I would never trivialize mental health or use the term lightly,” Osaka said at the time. “The truth is that I have suffered long bouts of depression since the U.S. Open in 2018 and I have had a really hard time coping with that.”, Osaka expanded on her decision by saying she has a good relationship with the media but finds the press conference format outdated. She said she prefers more"peer to peer" interactions with reporters.
