Two-time champion Naomi Osaka has pulled out of the Australian Open, tournament organizers announced, without elaborating on the reason.
“Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from the Australian Open. We will miss her at #AO2023,” the Australian Open tweeted. Former world No. 1 Osaka was not listed to play in warm-up tournaments in Adelaide or Hobart, raising speculation about her participation in the first grand slam of the year.
She also missed the entire grass court season due to an Achilles injury and withdrew from her opening match of the Canadian Open with a back injury. Osaka joins a list of notable absentees from the Australian Open, which begins on January 16. Men’s world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz is out with a leg injury, he said on Friday. The tournament would have been the 19-year-old’s first grand slam since winning the 2022 US Open in September and becoming the youngest world No. 1 in the history of men’s tennis.
