LONDON — Naomi Osaka’s agent says the four-time Grand Slam champion will sit out Wimbledon and compete in the Tokyo Olympics.
Stuart Duguid wrote Thursday in an email that Osaka “is taking some personal time with friends and family. She will be ready for the Olympics and is excited to play in front of her home fans.”
Osaka, 23, of Japan, withdrew from the French Open after the first round, saying she needed a mental health break.
Wimbledon runs from June 28-July 11. The opening ceremony for the Olympics is July 23. The games will run through Aug. 8.
