Naomi Osaka Withdraws From Wimbledon to Take 'Personal Time' Ahead of Olympics
to skip the remainder of the French Open, Osaka said, "I never wanted to be a distraction and I accept that my timing was not ideal and my message could have been clearer. More importantly I would never trivialize mental health or use the term lightly.
The truth is that I have suffered long bouts of depression since the US Open in 2018 and I have had a really hard time coping with that."Additionally, Osaka explained she experiences "huge waves of anxiety" before speaking with the press and "thought it was better to exercise self-care."
