Four-time Grand Slam champion,
Naomi Osaka will not play this year's
Wimbledon and will seemingly make her return to action going into the US Open with her achilles injury continuing to hamper her plans.
Previously, Osaka said she was unsure about playing for different reasons those being the stripping of ranking points which saw Genie Bouchard pull out on Friday.
The 24-year-old has not played since the French Open and despite beginning training on grass as shown on social media, the issue which she picked up in Madrid is still enough to prevent her from playing.
"After the storm comes the calm. This is a saying I'm actively trying to master. I feel like life keeps dealing cards and you're never gonna be used to them but it's how you adapt to uncomfortable situations that really says stuff about your character," said Osaka.
"I've been repeating mantras a lot in my head recently. I don't know if it's to subconsciously help myself through stressful times or to ease my mind into realizing that everything will work out fine as long as I put in the work.
"Cause what more can you do? Everyday before I go to sleep I think of all the people I love and how grateful I am to have them in my life. I honestly just wish the best for them and I hope that my existence brings them as much joy as they do to me."
