Aus Open: Naomi Osaka Confident Of Playing First-round Match Despite Injury
Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia: Two-time Australian Open champion Naomi Osaka is confident of playing the first-round match in the season opener Grand Slam despite the scan result of an abdominal injury not being "fantastic."
The four-time Grand Slam champion reached the final of the ASB Classic in preparation for the first major of the season, but had to retire and undergo an MRI scan. While she didn't provide specifics about the scan results on Friday, Osaka expressed that she is ready for her first-round match against Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia.
"I’m normally a really honest person but I probably won’t answer your question honestly,” Osaka told reporters on Friday. "The MRI, it wasn’t fantastic, but it wasn’t bad at the same time. I’m pretty optimistic about playing my match, I mean for sure I’m going to play my match, and I’ve been practising pretty well for the two days that I’ve been here."
