Naomi Osaka of Japan hits a return against Andrea Petkovic of Germany during their women's singles in the Melbourne Summer Set tennis tournament in Melbourne on January 7, 2022.AUSTRALIA - Naomi Osaka pulled out of a warm-up tournament for the Australian Open Saturday, saying her"body got a shock" after playing her first matches for four months, opening the Melbourne Summer Set title door to Simona Halep.
"Unfortunately I have an abdominal injury which I need to rest and prepare for the #AusOpen," the Japanese superstar and top seed said in a statement released by the Australian Open on Twitter. She then demolished Belgium's Maryna Zanevska 6-1, 6-1 before blasting past Germany's Andrea Petkovic 6-1, 7-5 to make the semi-finals.
Halep missed Roland-Garros, Wimbledon and the Olympics last year with a calf injury and ended her season early due to a knee issue, which culminated in her ranking slumping to 20.
