Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka’s name appeared on the singles entry list for Wimbledon released by the organisers on Friday but veterans Roger Federer and the Williams sisters were not included.

Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka.

Wimbledon had its ranking points taken away by the men’s ATP and women’s WTA after the grasscourt major opted to exclude players from Russia and Belarus because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls a ‘special operation’.Osaka, 24, also withdrew from Wimbledon last year after taking time off for “personal reasons” — a month after quitting the French Open when she was overwhelmed by media duties.

Serena, 40, has not played on the Tour since an injury during her first round match at last year’s Wimbledon championships forced her to withdraw while Venus’s last appearance was at a WTA 250 event in Chicago last August. The Russian could even return to the top of the rankings without playing at Wimbledon as Novak Djokovic will lose the points he earned by lifting the title last year.
