Emma Raducanu withdraws from French Open qualifying to focus on grass season
Emma Raducanu entered the tournament using her protected 103 ranking but she remains three spots outside the main draw and she was overlooked for a wild card.
Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from French Open qualifying and will instead focus on training for the grass and hard-court seasons. The 21-year-old had been expected to try to fight her way through three rounds of qualifying at Roland Garros, as she famously did on her way to winning the U.S. Open in 2021.
But the British tennis player instead surprisingly pulled out of the clay-court tournament.
“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,” she said.
