Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from Wimbledon with an Achilles injury.
Japan’s Osaka has not played since the French Open and recently posted a video of herself doing rehab on a treadmill.
The 24-year-old previously said she was “unsure” if she would play Wimbledon due to its lack of ranking points.

Osaka’s name appeared on the singles entry list for Wimbledon when it was released last week, but she has not appeared in any of the grass-court events.
Osaka won the US Open in 2018 and 2020 and the Australian Open in 2019 and 2021, but has never gone beyond the third round at Wimbledon.
