After her withdrawal from the French Open, Japan’s Naomi Osaka has also canceled her participation in next week’s grass-court tournament in Berlin.

Osaka abandoned the French Open — where she didn’t talk to the media and was faced with threats of harsher sanctions — before her second-round match in Paris last week.

She claimed she repeatedly suffers from depression.

Osaka will now also not play in Berlin, with organizers saying on Sunday:

“Unfortunately we have also received the notification that Naomi Osaka cannot start in Berlin. After consulting her management, she will take a break.”

It is still unclear how long Osaka will stay away from the courts and whether she will compete at Wimbledon from June 28.
