Open Capfinances Rouen Metropole: Former World No. 1 Naomi Osaka is set to take part in the first clay court season after two years as the Japanese tennis star has received a wild card for the Open Capfinances Rouen Metropole main draw.

The WTA 250 tournament is scheduled to take place from April 15 in the French city of Rouen. This will be the third edition of the competition.

Osaka will compete on clay for the first time since Roland Garros 2022, where she fell in the first round to Amanda Anisimova. Her last match win on clay came in the first round of Madrid 2022 over Anastasia Potapova, according to WTA.
