French Open: Emma Raducanu 'papered over cracks' in British tennis - Dan Evans

Emma Raducanu's victory at the US Open papered over the cracks in the state of British tennis, says Dan Evans.

Evans, seeded 24th, is one of only three Britons playing in the French Open singles main draws, alongside Cameron Norrie and Jack Draper.

With Raducanu injured, there are no British players in the women's singles.

"There's enough people playing junior tennis. We just don't help them in my opinion. It's a scarce draw, isn't it?" said the British men's number two.

Evans, 33, has long been a vocal critic of the pathway in British tennis and said the nation was "lucky" to see Raducanu emerge as a major champion in 2021.
