If you know Fran Jones’ story, you will know she has had to do things differently.
So it should not be a surprise the 23-year-old Briton decided not to make a late push - and risk her longer-term ambitions - to join the world’s leading stars at this week's French Open.
Jones is unique among British players, having grown up playing on clay and achieving her greatest successes on the surface.
However, the world number 295 opted against trying to play in qualifying at Roland Garros - the Grand Slam tournament which is the pinnacle of clay-court tennis.
