Former world number one Naomi Osaka did not finish her first round match at the WTA 1000 tournament against Kai Kanepi.
The Japanese woman withdrew from the match with a score of 6:7, 0:3. The reason was a back injury.
“The back started to bother me at the beginning of the match. I tried my best to overcome it, but it didn’t work.
I have to give credit to Kaya – she played well. I want to wish her a successful tournament,” Osaka said.
