More than 450 place leap for Naomi Osaka set in WTA Rankings despite Dubai withdrawal and Pliskova loss
WTASaturday, 17 February 2024 at 02:00
Former world number one Naomi Osaka has leapt more than 450 more places in the WTA Rankings despite withdrawing from the upcoming event.
The 26-year-old withdrew from the upcoming WTA 1000 event in Abu Dhabi. Despite that news, Osaka is set to leap more than 450 places because of her impressive performances in Doha.
The Osaka-born had a more than impressive outing in the ongoing Qatar Open where her journey eventually came to an end after losing in the quarterfinal to Karolina Pliskova in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6.
After her exit, Osaka, in a post on her official account on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — expressed her love for the city and expressed optimism that she will return to play again next year.
“Doha you are absolutely one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever been to. It’s been an absolute pleasure playing here, thank you for all the support. Love you and I’ll see you next year,” she wrote.
The outing in Doha was indeed a positive one for Osaka, especially after a disappointing performance in the first Grand Slam of the year — the Australian Open — where she was knocked out after losing in the first round to Caroline Garcia with a score of 6-4, 7-6.
