Raducanu Backs Clay-Court Campaign Despite First-Round French Open Loss
British number one Emma Raducanu says she has no regrets about tackling the clay season, even after a 6-0, 7-6 defeat to Solana Sierra in the opening round of the French Open. This was her first Grand Slam appearance since a two-and-a-half-month layoff with a post-viral illness. Raducanu admitted she remains hampered by a lingering cough and lacked match sharpness on the red dirt. She welcomes the extra time on clay as vital for building her resilience and form ahead of the grass-court swing. Raducanu will head to Queen’s Club for the WTA 500 in June, aiming to peak at Wimbledon.
