Tokyo: Naomi Osaka's season appears to be over after she said she will not play at next month's Billie Jean King Cup finals because of injury.
The four-time Grand Slam singles champion said in Tokyo on Sunday that she had ruptured abdominal muscles.
«I thought I strained my back, but I did an MRI in Beijing and they said that I bulged a disc in my back and I also ruptured abdominal muscles,» Japan's Kyodo News agency reported the 27-year-old as saying.
Osaka has been sidelined since she retired from her last-16 match at the China Open against eventual champion Coco Gauff at the start of the month.
She pulled out of the Japan Open in Osaka and this week's Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo. The Billie Jean King Cup finals would have been the final event on her 2024 schedule.
