Naomi Osaka withdraws from Wimbledon but will play in Tokyo Olympics

Tennis superstar Naomi Osaka is skipping this year's Wimbledon but will return to the sport at the Tokyo Olympics later this summer, her agent said in a statement Thursday.

"Naomi won't be playing Wimbledon this year. She is taking some personal time with friends and family," her agent Stuart Duguid said. "She will be ready for the Olympics and is excited to play in front of her home fans." Wimbledon's organizer, the All England Lawn Tennis Club, said Osaka would be "greatly missed" and wished her the best at home and at this summer's Olympics. The news follows Rafael Nadal's decision to with from both Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics.
