Osaka has not announced when he plans to play in the next tournament, calling into question his participation in Wimbledon, which starts on June 28, and the Tokyo Olympics.
“We have been notified that Osaka cannot start in Berlin. After consulting with her team, she has decided to take a break,” said a spokeswoman for the Berlin tournament.
The Berlin tournament starts on June 14.
The 23-year-old four-time Grand Slam tournament winner has been in the spotlight since she left Roland Garros following a conflict over a refusal to attend a press conference.
Osaka, who was second in the second issue, was fined $ 15,000 (€ 12,267) for failing to attend a press conference in Paris and being threatened with disqualification from the tournament for breach of mandatory media obligations. That’s why the Japanese star withdrew from the tournament after the first round match.
On Saturday, Osaka revealed in his Instagram account that he was struggling with depression and anxiety, which would worsen after meeting with the media.
Latvian tennis players – Alona Ostapenko and Anastasia Sevastova – did not win the first round of the French Open in Paris in a single match.
The second Grand Slam of the season – the French Open – will run until June 13, when the 2021 Tokyo Olympics qualify.
