Professional tennis player Naomi Osaka announced on Thursday she is not going to play the French Open Tournament this year, citing an injury.
"My hamstring is still sore so I won't have time to prepare for the clay - these two tournaments came too close to each other for me this time", she explained.

Despite her young age (she is only 22), Osaka is already a two-time winner of the US Open. Last week, she defeated Belarusian tennis player Victoria Azarenka.
Prior to that, Osaka had to withdraw from the Western and Southern Open final with a pulled hamstring, letting Azarenka to win. She hoped that the hamstring would recover overnight, but it did not.
Back in 2019, she also won the Australian Open.
