Naomi Osaka: Four-time Grand Slam winner to miss Wimbledon but plans Olympics return

Japan's Naomi Osaka will not play at Wimbledon this year but is planning to return in time for the Tokyo Olympics.

At the time, Osaka, 23, said she would be taking a break from tennis after experiencing depression and anxiety.

The world number two says she is "excited to play in front of her home fans" in Tokyo.

Osaka was fined $15,000 (£10,570) for not taking part in a news conference following her first round match at Roland Garros.

Grand Slam organisers said she could face expulsion from the tournament should she refuse to take part in media duties.
