Today’s French Open singles draw (1pm) is the first at a grand slam to have no British female players since the 2009 US Open. It comes in the same week that the Wimbledon women’s singles entry list had no home representation for the first time since 2007. thetimes.co.uk/article/no-bri…
No British women in a Grand Slam main draw for first time since 2009 at French Open
WTAThursday, 25 May 2023 at 16:30
This year's Roland Garros won't feature any British woman in the main draw and that's the first time since 2009 that no British WTA player is in the draw.
British tennis is not enjoying its greatest era right now with this year's Roland Garros the first one that won't feature a British WTA player in the main draw. It's a sad thing that hasn't happened since 2009 and it comes in the same week that Wimbledon published its entry list which also doesn't feature any British woman either. There were some candidates like Dart, Boulter, Watson as well as the injured Raducanu.
Raducanu is injured while the others came up short in the qualifiers.
