Naomi Osaka withdraws from Wimbledon with Achilles injury, had expressed doubt about playing
Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from Wimbledon.
Osaka's name was included on the list of withdrawals Saturday, with a leg injury noted as the reason for her dropping out. Osaka had been playing through a left Achilles injury and had tape on her foot during a first-round loss at the French Open last month.
She confirmed her withdrawal on social media Saturday, tweeting, «my Achilles still isn't right so I'll see you next time,» and writing, «there goes my grass dreams,» in an Instagram post.
