Emma Raducanu's Injury Scare Before French Open

Emma Raducanu, the British tennis sensation, faced a significant setback just days before the French Open 2025. During her match against Danielle Collins at the Strasbourg Open, Raducanu experienced a back injury that raised concerns about her fitness for the upcoming Grand Slam.

Match Details

Raducanu started strong, securing the first set 6-4. However, her momentum was halted in the second set when she fell behind 0-5. At this point, she called for a medical timeout to address her back issue. Despite returning to the court, Raducanu struggled to regain her form, eventually losing the match 4-6, 6-1, 6-3.

Implications for French Open

This injury comes at a critical time, with the French Open set to begin on Sunday at Roland Garros. Raducanu had been showing promising form on clay, including a recent victory over Daria Kasatkina in Strasbourg and a strong performance at the Italian Open. Her current condition could impact her performance in Paris.

Next Steps for Collins

Danielle Collins, on the other hand, advances to the quarterfinals where she will face either top seed Jessica Pegula or world No. 30 Anna Kalinskaya. Collins' victory over Raducanu adds to her confidence as she continues her campaign in Strasbourg.

Looking Ahead

As the tennis world turns its attention to Roland Garros, all eyes will be on Raducanu's recovery. Will she be able to overcome this injury and make a significant impact at the French Open? Only time will tell.
