Naomi Osaka is having a rather interesting run on clay this year.
The Japanese showed very good signs of progress on the dirt to have a respectable 7-1 record on this surface. However, the world no.1 didn’t manage to win a title on clay after she withdrew from 2 tournaments for different reasons.
Osaka retired before the semifinal in Stuttgart for a problem to her abdominals while she was not fit to compete in Rome because of an injury to her right hand.
The Japanese still decided to spend some time in Rome after withdrawing before heading to Paris where she will try to win her 3rd slam.
