Osaka, slowed by Achilles injury, to skip Wimbledon

Naomi Osaka pulled out of Wimbledon, citing a lingering left Achilles tendon problem and marking the second straight year she’s decided to sit out the grass-court major. The 24-year-old fourtime major champion and former No. 1-ranked player hasn’t played an official match since losing in the French Open’s first round on May 24, and her ranking has fallen to No. 43. All of Osaka’s major titles came on hard courts, and she hasn’t won a Wimbledon match since 2018.

■ ATP: At London, defending champion Matteo Berrettini of Italy beat Botic van de Zandschlup of the Netherlands 6-4, 6-3 in a Queen’s Club semifinal and will face Filip Krajinovic of Serbia for the title.
