Several top tennis players, including Dominic Thiem, Simona Halep, Caroline Wozniacki, and Emma Raducanu, did not receive wild cards for the French Open at Roland Garros. Thiem and Raducanu may still enter through qualifiers, while Wozniacki and Halep will miss the event. Raducanu eventually withdrew from the qualifying event, opting to train instead of participating.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the French Open, just 24 hours before qualifying was due to begin. The 21-year-old is not injured, but has decided to skip Roland Garros to train and give herself a “chance to keep fit for the rest of the year". @BBCSport

Tournaments can give wildcards to whoever they want. That’s the point of wildcards. But the French Open not giving one to two-time finalist Dominic Thiem who just announced his retirement is an objectively horrendous decision. You guys stink. https://t.co/uXgxRKGhH1

Thiem currently 5 out can still enter directly. Otherwise will play Qualies next week. Raducanu also waiting for some last minute withdrawals or Qualies. Wozniacki (didn’t sign in for Qualies) and Halep (doesn’t have ranking for that) will miss the event. https://t.co/UZbyBE4za2
