Naomi Osaka has decided to play her semi-final at the Western & Southern Open in New York after previously saying she would withdraw from the match to protest against racial injustice, The Guardian newspaper reported on Thursday.
The 22-year-old Japanese was originally scheduled to play her semi-final on Thursday but tournament organisers decided to postpone all the last-four matches to Friday."As you know, I pulled out of the tournament yesterday in support of racial injustice and continued police violence. I was ready and prepared to concede the match to my opponent," Osaka said.
