MIAMI, Jan 12 — Former world number one Naomi Osaka announced on Wednesday that she is pregnant and will be taking a break from tennis until 2024.
The 25-year-old Osaka has not played a tennis match since September and her withdrawal from the Australian Open, which starts next week, had puzzled many observers. The top ranked player in the world in 2019, the Japanese star — who grew up in the United States — is now ranked 47th in the world. With a string of lucrative endorsement deals across the globe, including with several top Japanese brands, she was named the world’s top-earning female athlete for 2022 by Forbes, with reported earnings of US$51.1 million .
“These few months away from the sport have really given me a new love and appreciation for the game I’ve dedicated my life to,” she wrote.
