Raducanu out of French Open after falling again to Swiatek
Emma Raducanu hits a backhand against Iga Swiatek during their second round match of the French Tennis Open, at the Roland-Garros stadium, in Paris, May 28, 2025

EMMA RADUCANU suffered more pain at the hands of Iga Swiatek as she was dumped out of the French Open today.

The 22-year-old was one of six British players through to the second round at Roland Garros but her stay was ended in brutal fashion, 6-1 6-2, by the four-time champion.

Raducanu, making her debut on Court Philippe-Chatrier, did not appear to be suffering any fitness issues as she had done in her first-round win over Wang Xinyu.

But it was a meek display from the former US Open champion, who has now lost all of her five meetings with Swiatek without winning a set.

Swiatek is nicknamed the “Queen of Clay” and is unbeaten at the tournament since 2021, but she has not reached a final since Paris last year and has slipped to number five in the world.

The Polish tennis star managed to wrap up a comprehensive win in just an hour and 19 minutes.
