Raducanu fails to receive wild card into French Open
Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from playing the Internationaux de Strasbourg and could now enter French Open qualifying after being denied a wild card.
Emma Raducanu has not received a wild card into this year’s French Open, meaning she is likely to enter qualifying next week having already pulled out of the Internationaux de Strasbourg.
The 21-year-old former US Open champion is currently the fourth alternate into the main draw at Roland Garros but the Briton could be forced into playing qualifying at a Grand Slam for the first time since her historic US Open triumph in 2021.
There were also surprise exclusions for two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep, Caroline Wozniacki and two-time French Open finalist Dominic Thiem.
