    Raducanu Opts Out Of Paris 2024, Murray To Compete In Olympic Swan Song

    By IANS News June 16, 2024 • 18:04 PM View: 448
    International Tennis Federation: 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.
