Emma Raducanu Opts Out Of Paris 2024, Andy Murray To Compete In Olympic Swan Song
Emma Raducanu has declined the opportunity to represent Great Britain in next month's Paris Olympics. The 2021 US Open champion, who is still recovering from surgery on her wrists and ankle, was offered one of the two International Tennis Federation (ITF) places reserved for former Grand Slam champions. However, Raducanu has chosen to focus on her fitness and prepare for the upcoming British grass-court season. Raducanu's current world ranking is too low to qualify outright for the Olympics, a consequence of her time away from the sport due to injury. The 21-year-old missed the French Open, which is played on the same Roland Garros clay courts that will host the Olympic tennis tournament, to ensure she is in peak condition for the British grass-court swing.

Emma Raducanu Pulls Out Of French Open Qualifying To Train On Grass
Former US Open winner Emma Raducanu is likely to miss the French Open at Roland Garros after withdrawing from this week's qualifying tournament. While the Briton is a third alternate for the main draw, successfully coming through qualifying, which starts on Monday, would have offered her a guaranteed route to the main draw. Her name, however, did not appear among the qualifiers listed Sunday on the Roland Garros website. The 21-year-old won the US Open title in 2021 but has since suffered from regular injury problems and is now ranked 212 in the world.
