Naomi Osaka withdraws from a WTA tournament in Melbourne, citing an abdominal injury that needs to rest and prepare for the Australian Open, she says.

Osaka cited an abdominal injury for her withdrawal, and said she needed to rest ahead of the Australian Open, which begins Jan. 17.

“I had a lot of fun playing here in Melbourne. Unfortunately I have an abdominal injury which I need to rest and prepare for the Australian Open,” Osaka said in a statement issued by Tennis Australia. Earlier, American Amanda Anisimova advanced to her first final since 2019 with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Daria Kasatkina in the Summer Set 2 event at Rod Laver Arena. Anisimova will play either fellow American Ann Li or Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus, who play their semifinal later Saturday.
