Emma Raducanu will compete at the Internationaux de Strasbourg after pulling out of the Italian Open. The former US Open champion has recovered sufficiently from a recurring virus to return to action on the clay courts.

Frances Tiafoe has become the latest player to withdraw from the Madrid Open, joining a growing list that includes Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz. Emma Raducanu also pulled out due to a viral illness, delaying her clay-court return. The tournament begins on April 22 amid significant absences.
Taylor Fritz is managing ongoing knee issues ahead of the Miami Open, hinting at potentially missing the clay-court season if his condition does not improve after this week. The American lost early at Indian Wells and faces a second-round match against the winner of Denis Shapovalov and Botic van de Zandschulp. He has dealt with the injury since last year's Cincinnati Open.
