Osaka cancels final due to left Achilles tendon injury
WHAT (AFP)
“I’m sorry. I have to withdraw from the tournament due to injury,” Osaka said in a statement. He suffered the injury in the tie-break of the second semi-final set. “It has not improved overnight as expected. This has been an emotional week for me and I would like to thank everyone for their support,” Osaka said.
Osaka caused a sensation on the tennis scene with her protest at police violence and racism in America. Their approach was one of the reasons for a break from the men’s and women’s tournament at Flushing Meadows, which is a dress rehearsal for the US Open.
Asarenka will once again be the top 30 player on Tuesday against Barbara Haas from Upper Austria. She started at number 59 in the tournament, which moved from Cincinnati to New York. It was Azarenka’s 21st title, but the first since 2016. Due to a custody dispute over her son, the Belarusian-born was only able to travel a little for a while and lagged far behind in the rankings. She was number one in the WTA rankings for a total of 51 weeks.
