 OSAKA WITHDRAWN FROM FRENCH OPEN

Naomi Osaka, the Japanese youngster and world number three who won the US Open Grand Slam women's singles title for the second time last week, has withdrawn from the French Open Grand Slam tournament starting on the 27th of this month. She made this decision due to an injury to her left thigh muscle. ‘This time I will not be playing in the French Open. Thigh muscle injury has not yet subsided. "I can't prepare for this mega tournament on time," Osaka said on Twitter. As a result, Osaka became the second star to miss this prestigious tournament.

World number one Ashley Barty, the women's singles defending champion, has already missed the French Open in the wake of the coronavirus scandal. Organizers, on the other hand, have reduced the number of spectators to the French Open in the wake of the rising Corona intensity in France. Managers will now limit that number to 5,000, up from 11,500 previously expected to allow an audience per day.
