Wimbledon is about to lose another big star. Osaka will also miss it, she wants to return at the Olympic tournament

Excuses for the world’s most famous tournament are multiplying. Rafael Nadal has announced his absence and will also miss the Olympic Games in Tokyo. A few hours later, he was followed by Japan’s Osaka, who will also miss Wimbledon. She plans to make her comeback at her home Olympics in Tokyo, where she will be one of the main medal contenders.

While for Nadal the reasons for withdrawal are medical, for the Japanese the reasons are more psychological. It’s no secret that she finds it very difficult to handle the pressure tennis superstars put on her.

It all came to a head at Roland Garros. Osaka announced that she would not be attending press conferences and triggered a storm of discontent from the general tennis public. Under threat of suspension, she eventually voluntarily withdrew from the tournament and suspended her season.

She also admitted to suffering from depression since the 2018 US Open. By ignoring the mandatory press conferences, she wanted to avoid the fear of appearing in front of the media, which has an adverse effect on her psyche.

Now she spends her free time with friends and tries to get into mental balance. She should be ready for the Olympic tournament in Tokyo and ready to compete for one of the medals.

Naomi Osaka is a four-time Grand Slam champion, winner of 7 tournament titles and also a former world number one.
