BENGALURU (Reuters) - Naomi Osaka's fluctuating form before the French Open is a sign that the newest star in women's tennis is struggling with the pressure of being number one, Spanish tennis great Arantxa Sanchez Vicario said. She pulled out of the Italian Open on Friday with a hand injury, casting doubt on her ability to start in Paris. "It happens to everyone," three-times French Open champion Sanchez Vicario told reporters in India shortly before Osaka's latest withdrawal. Despite the recent setbacks, Sanchez Vicario was confident that Osaka will be soon back to her free-flowing best. If she's healthy, (Osaka is) one of the title contenders," Sanchez Vicario said.
