Serena Williams is still searching for that elusive 24th Grand Slam title and is listed at +650 odds now that Osaka is out of the field.
As for Osaka’s withdrawal, she is stating that she is taking some time off to spend time with friends and family to relieve stress.
Osaka withdrew from the French Open after refusing to answer the media’s questions and shared her thoughts about how the media’s constant questioning was pervasive and unhealthy for athlete’s mental health.
“The best thing for the tournament, the other players and my well-being is that I withdraw so that everyone can get back to focusing on the tennis going on in Paris,” said Osaka.
Hopefully, she is able to put herself in a good position to return to the court in the near future.
