London, May 19: Former British No. 1 Emma Raducanu has pulled out of the French Open’s qualifying event on the eve of the start of the competition. The 21-year-old has not stated any reason behind her decision. Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion, was not given the wild card entry for the clay-court Grand Slam.
Raducanu has not featured in any competition since losing the first-round match against Argentine qualifier Maria Lourdes Carle in the Madrid Open last month.
However, after the match, Raducanu had said she was ‘mentally and emotionally exhausted’. (IANS)
