Collins was outspoken again while facing Raducanu, telling a camera operator to give them space and claiming they were being “inappropriate”. After the match, Raducanu had her say on her opponent’s sometimes controversial moments and shed light on their relationship away from the court.

Emma Raducanu suffered an injury scare just four days before the French Open in a three-set defeat to Danielle Collins on Wednesday.

Having won the first set, Raducanu was 5-0 down when she called a medical timeout before returning to the court 10 minutes later. Although she was able to finish the match, she went down to a 4-6 6-1 6-3 defeat to Collins.
