A miserable tournament for Great Britain’s singles players at the French Open came to an end on Tuesday night as difficult defeats for Katie Boulter and Dan Evans meant that British players have failed to win a singles match in Paris for the first time since 2020.
Shortly after Evans was outclassed 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 by the 13th seed Holger Rune in their well-contested first‑round match, Katie Boulter put herself in position to record a stellar win against the former world No 2 Paula Badosa before narrowly losing 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 in an excellent battle on Tuesday night. With their defeats, British players in the men’s and women’s singles draws finished with a 0-6 record at the French Open this year.
