Emma Raducanu provides worrying injury update ahead of French Open
Emma Raducanu has revealed that she has been struggling with back problems behind the scenes after picking up another injury in Strasbourg. The former US Open champion needed a medical timeout during the second set of her defeat to Danielle Collins in the second round. She eventually returned to the court but looked uncomfortable as she slipped to a 4-6 6-1 6-3 defeat.
Injuries have plagued Raducanu’s career since her incredible Grand Slam triumph at Flushing Meadows back in 2021. Her latest problem has sparked concern ahead of next week’s French Open, where she will be hoping to continue her impressive form on clay. A downbeat Raducanu offered a worrying update in her press conference after losing to Collins, explaining that she has been dealing with ‘intense’ back spasms for a long time.
