Emma Raducanu granted French Open favour after taking aim at tournament bosses

finally got her wish after for failing to give players enough practice time on the bigger showcourts. The Brit is set to face four-time champion and No. 5 seed in the second round here, with their match likely set to get Court Philippe-Chatrier billing.

It would be Raducanu's first time on the centre court at Roland Garros, and ahead of their showdown, she got to hit on Chatrier on Tuesday morning - less than 24 hours after she raised health concerns .

The world No. 41 was given just half an hour to get a feel for the biggest court in the grounds, holding her practice session earlier in the morning before any play got underway.

On Monday, Raducanu suggested that certain players received preferential treatment when warming up on the main stages at Stade Roland Garros.

"I honestly think it's really difficult, because the tournament don't really help in terms of getting you court time on the bigger courts or on like the match courts, really," she said.

"I feel like, I don't know, certain players get preferred treatment. It's very different from at the annex, for example, across the road or other courts to then kind of jump onto Chatrier or jump on to a stadium.

"It isn't easy. I wish they would give us more opportunities on stadium or bigger courts, especially if we're going to play on them."

Raducanu was given her opportunity on Tuesday, and it remains to be seen whether the tournament allows her another run through before her clash with Swiatek on Wednesday.

The Brit's decision to head out for a practice session first thing was also a positive sign after she raised concerns in her opening match against Wang Xinyu.

Before serving for the first set, and used ice packs around her eyes during a lengthy medical time-out.

After sealing a 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory, the former US Open champion confessed that she hadn't been feeling well.

She added: "I think I'm actually really proud of today's match, more so than I think a lot of the matches that I played recently or in general, because I woke up and I felt really sick, to be honest. I felt bad from the morning.

"I was just trying and fighting through that. It was really difficult. You know, in the first set, like, I just felt it straightaway and it didn't really go away throughout the whole match.

"To have kind of come through that and overcome how I was feeling, I'm really happy with, and I didn't let it kind of, you know, it would have been easy to kind of let it drag me down."
