Emma Raducanu suffers injuries in front of French Open during the defeat by Collins | Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu suffered an injury before the French when she went out of the open of Strasbourg.

The 22-year-old left the court during the second set of her second round game with American Danielle Collin for treatment for a back problem, even though it seemed that he had recovered. After winning the first sentence, Raducanu was 5-0 down when she called a medical break 10 minutes later before returning to the court. Although she was able to end the game, she lost 4: 6, 6: 1, 6: 3 against Collins.

With the French Open on Sunday, Raducanu is now fully judged before it travels to Paris, even though she started hard in a close third set that it was not too serious. She took a wildcard in East France to enter the last warm-up tournament for Roland Garros-not something that she normally did in building a Grand Slam.

The British No. 2, which Katie Boulter follows as the highest British, started winning the first sentence against World No. 46. But her level immediately fell off and after she went through the fifth game, where she went down 5-0, she left the Court of Long Treatment.

Collins quickly ended the second set and there was afraid that she could also run away with the determination. But Raducanu fought hard for her honor and was prepared to take over a 3-1 lead, but was not able to convert four fragment points. After an exchange of breaks, it was tight at 3: 3, but Collins put her foot down to win the last three games when Raducanu fell away.

Raducanu has added an additional tournament to your Grass Court schedule after taking a wildcard in the Berlin tennis opening. The former US Open Champion will start its campaign on the surface at the new WTA event in the Queen's Club next month before going to the German capital at the tournament from June 16 to 22.

This means that Raducanu will not agree with Nottingham Open that takes place in the same week. The Berlin tournament is a higher level of the WTA tour and therefore offers more ranking points and prize money. Raducanu will compete in Germany with a violent competition with a stacked field of World No. 1, Aryna Sabalenka, and with nine of the top 10. Naomi Osaka, the four-time Grand Slam champion, has also received a wild card.
