Emma Raducanu withdraws from French Open qualifying
British tennis star pulls out of tournament just 24 hours before it was due to begin
### Raducanu, who won the US Open last year, has opted to focus on building her fitness instead. British tennis star Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the qualifying rounds of the 2024 French Open. The 20-year-old was due to begin her campaign on Monday but has pulled out just 24 hours before it was due to begin. Raducanu has not given a reason for her withdrawal but it is thought that she is focusing on building her fitness ahead of the grass-court season. Raducanu has struggled with injuries in recent months and has not played a competitive match since the Australian Open in January. The withdrawal from this year's French Open is the second time Raducanu has pulled out of a Grand Slam tournament. She also withdrew from the Australian Open in 2022 due to a back injury. Raducanu's withdrawal is a blow to British tennis fans who were hoping to see her make a deep run at the French Open. Raducanu is one of the most promising young players in the world and her absence from the tournament will be a disappointment.
