- Osaka on tournament entry list but appears to be in US
- Two-time champion has not played since last September
The Australian Open is set to be robbed of another major drawcard as officials scramble to determine the playing status – and exact whereabouts – of two-time women’s champion Naomi Osaka.
Without a match in four months, Osaka seems all but certain to miss the Melbourne major having only just arrived back to her US base this week following a jaunt through Europe with her rapper partner Cordae.
