  Naomi Osaka 's return to Grand Slam competition ended prematurely on Friday, as the two-time Australian Open champion was forced to retire from her third-round match against Belinda Bencic due to a strained abdominal muscle. Osaka had dropped the opening set in a tiebreaker, 7-6 (3), before informing the chair umpire she could no longer continue.


Naomi Osaka, the former world No. 1 tennis player, was forced to retire from her second-round match at the Australian Open due to an injury. During her match against Caroline Garcia, Osaka appeared to be in discomfort, particularly after a fall in the second set. Despite initially continuing to play, she eventually decided to withdraw when the score was 6-4, 1-0 in Garcia's favor. Osaka later shared her frustration and disappointment on social media, explaining that she had been dealing with abdominal pain which she initially thought was manageable. This injury adds to a series of health setbacks for Osaka, who has previously taken breaks from the sport for mental health reasons and to start a family. Her withdrawal from the tournament is a significant blow as she was looking to regain her form and competitive edge in the sport.
