Former world number one Naomi Osaka will not play in the upcoming Wimbledon tournament, withdrawing her name on Saturday due to a leg injury.

"My Achilles still isn’t right so I’ll see you next time," Osaka posted to social media.

Osaka has not played at Wimbledon since 2019, after the 2020 tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Osaka took a leave of absence from tennis prior to 2021 Wimbledon.

"So I think the intention was really good, but the execution is kind of all over the place."
