Osaka makes winning return despite anger over Israeli Glushko's participation

PALESTINIAN rights protests forced play to pause yesterday at the ASB Classic tournament between Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka and Israeli player Lina Glushko in Auckland.
Osaka made a winning return to the court following an almost three-month absence in the first round of the ASB tennis classic.
Palestine Support Network Aotearoa (PSNA) had called on supporters to protest against the participation of Glushko, an Israeli army reservist, who has served in the army.
