Naomi Osaka has pulled out of Roland Garros, citing the hamstring injury that she picked up late last month at the Western & Southern Open in New York.
My hamstring is still sore so I won’t have enough time to prepare for the clay — these two tournaments came too close to each other for me this time.
The 22-year-old Osaka injured her left hamstring in the second-set tiebreak of her “Cincinnati” semifinal against Elise Mertens and the health issue forced her to withdraw from the final against Victoria Azarenka.
