Emma Raducanu slumps to straight-sets defeat in French Open first round

Tearful Raducanu at a loss to explain French Open nightmare: ‘It’s very difficult’

Emma Raducanu lost her French Open first-round match 6-0 7-6(4) to Solana Sierra, committing 42 unforced errors after just one match played in two-and-a-half months due to a post-viral illness. The result signals that her return to form will hinge on the grass-court swing—starting at Queen's on June 8—where she has historically performed at her highest level.
