Emma Raducanu match at French Open paused as Brit requires medical treatment
Emma Raducanu required medical attention during her French Open clash against Wan Xinyu, with the British star dabbing her eyes with ice and having her blood pressure checked. The 22-year-old was a break up in her first-round match at Roland Garros before being forced into a timeout.
British tennis legend Annabel Croft said: "It looks like Emma Raducanu is having something done to her eye here, she is rubbing the her cheek but it's quite high up near her eye.
"I don't think she is feeling 100 percent. I think her whole physical expression throughout this first set hasn't been quite right, even though she's doing extremely well to keep on top of the scoreline."
Raducanu was 6-5 up at the time of the incident, with the umpire allowing her a three-minute break while medics treated her.
After being given the all-clear to continue, she held her serve to win the first set 7-5 after the small set-back.

Sabalenka, Zheng sizzle on sunny day at French Open
PARIS, May 30 (Reuters) - World number one Aryna Sabalenka and Paris Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen charged into the fourth round of the French Open but Italian Lorenzo Musetti was made to work a little harder to progress in glorious sunshine on Friday. Sabalenka experienced late resistance in her meeting with unseeded Olga Danilovic but won 6-2 6-3 and kept alive her hopes of winning a maiden Roland Garros trophy after major successes on the hardcourts of the Australian Open and U.S. Open. The three-time Grand Slam champion looked in ruthless form while racing ahead 5-0 but Danilovic avoided the bagel by taking the sixth game on serve and pulled a break back to give herself a small chance to come back. The resurgence did not last, however, as Sabalenka closed out the opening set with another break of serve and withstood another stern test in the second set to beat her 34th-ranked opponent from Serbia. "I'm super happy with the win," Sabalenka said. "Olga's a fighter and I knew it was going to be a fight. I enjoyed playing against her, she played like a top 10 player and I'm sure soon she will be in the top 10. "I enjoyed our battle and I'm super happy to be through this difficult match." Zheng, who won her biggest title at last year's Olympics, continued her good form on Parisian clay as the Chinese eighth seed moved into the second week by beating Grand Slam debutant Victoria Mboko 6-3 6-4 at a sunbathed Court Simonne Mathieu. That match was halted briefly when the 18-year-old Mboko was down 5-3 in the second set as a fan needed medical attention but Zheng ensured her momentum was not affected when play resumed and quickly completed the victory over the Canadian. Former semi-finalist Amanda Anisimova required treatment for a blister on her right hand before the American secured a 7-6(4) 6-4 victory over Denmark's Clara Tauson to reach the last 16 of the major where she announced herself in 2019. Anisimova, seeded 16th, takes on Sabalenka in the next round aiming to improve her 5-2 win-loss record against the Belarusian top seed. "We're both big hitters, so I'm sure we're going to be going at it back and forth," Anisimova said. "Obviously she's one of the best right now. She's number one. I feel it's always a good matchup. I really enjoy the fight and the challenge she brings on. "I'm just looking forward to it. Hopefully I can bring my 'A' game. Hopefully it'll be a good match." Liudmila Samsonova will also expect to be fully tested when she meets Zheng after seeing off Dayana Yastremska 6-2 6-3. Reigning French Open champion Iga Swiatek resumes her bid for a fifth title in Paris when the fifth seed plays Jaqueline Cristian on Court Suzanne Lenglen while men's champion Carlos Alcaraz plays unseeded Damir Dzumhur in the evening. On the men's side, eighth seed Musetti dropped the opening set against Mariano Navone of Argentina before he prevailed 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-2.

Jacob Fearnley inspired by Cameron Norrie exploits
Norrie and Fearnley both attended the Texas Christian University in America before transitioning to life on the ATP Tour. Now the British duo are set to meet for the first time for a place in the fourth round at Roland Garros. 'It's an interesting one. I know Cam very well. We both went to TCU in America although we didn't cross paths there,' said 23-year-old Fearnley. 'I think to see a guy going to the college that I went to, seeing how well he did coming out of college, it was just inspiring. 'It kind of showed me that it was possible, that the coaches at TCU and the work that he put in at TCU could get him to the Tour. 'When he won the title at Indian Wells it's just very inspiring really. I think he's done amazing things on the Tour. 'He competes so hard, fights every match, fights every point. You can see that he really leaves it all out there. So that's something that I admire.' Former British number one Norrie has endured a tough 18 months, his ranking having dropped to a lowly 81. The 29-year-old has been in the third round on three previous occasions but his run this year has still come as something of a surprise. 'I'm happy to be through and enjoying my tennis again,' he said. 'I feel like I have a really good game for the clay in general. 'I think it's down to if I'm moving well and giving nothing away. I can be really difficult to beat.' Fearnley is set to break into the world's top 50 despite having never played a professional match on clay before this year. 'He has had unreal results,' added Norrie. 'This is his first clay season and he has played unreal. It is going to be tough playing him.'
