Katie Boulter has withdrawn from the French Open a day after her name surprisingly appeared in the draw.
The British No 3 has not played since Britain’s Fed Cup victory over Kazakhstan last month, where she aggravated a back problem, and had been ruled out of the whole clay season.
Boulter posted a video of herself on social media on Thursday at the National Tennis Centre in London before travelling to Paris and pulling out of the tournament at Roland Garros this morning.
