Naomi Osaka, Rebecca Marino, Marina Stakusic receive NBO Toronto wild cards

TORONTO — Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka will enter the National Bank Open women’s main draw as a wild card.

The 26-year-old Osaka, a former world No. 1, returned to tennis in January after taking a break for the birth of her first child.

Tennis Canada also announced Wednesday that Vancouver’s Rebecca Marino and Toronto’s Marina Stakusic are also wild-card recipients, joining Bianca Andreescu of Mississauga, Ont.

The 33-year-old Marino and 18-year-old Stakusic were part of the Canadian team that won the Billie Jean King Cup in November.
