PARIS (Reuters) - U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu said she has prepared normally for her French Open debut in the last few days after recovering from a back injury that forced her to retire from a first round match in Rome this month.

The 19-year-old British player struggled with the back injury during the WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid and then pulled out in Rome while trailing against Canadian Bianca Andreescu.
