Britain's Emma Raducanu withdraws from the French Open, 24 hours before the start of qualifying, as part of a plan to improve her fitness.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the French Open, just 24 hours before qualifying was due to begin.
Raducanu was not awarded a wildcard for the clay-court Grand Slam and her ranking was not high enough to gain direct entry into the main draw.“It’s important for me to keep laying on the foundations, and I will use the time to do a healthy block before the grass and subsequent hard-court seasons to give myself a chance to keep fit for the rest of the year,” said the 2021 US Open champion.
