- ‘I just can’t go at it 100%,’ says Osaka after first-round exit
- Novak Djokovic: Wimbledon player ban is ‘wrong decision’
Naomi Osaka says she is leaning towards not competing at Wimbledon in light of the WTA’s decision to remove ranking points from the tournament in response to the All England Club’s ban of Russian and Belarusian players due to the invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking after her 5-7, 4-6 defeat in the French Open first round by the 27th seed, Amanda Anisimova, Osaka likened a Wimbledon without points to an exhibition and felt she would struggle for motivation.
