French Open: Emma Raducanu wins thriller in Roland Garros first round

Live text and radio commentaries of selected matches across BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, the BBC Sport website and app

It left the Briton jumping for joy in celebration after coming through a scrap that ranks as one of her finest victories since winning the Grand Slam title in New York last year. The 19-year-old only made her top-level debut on the clay during Great Britain's Billie Jean King Cup tie against the Czech Republic last month, following that up with some positive performances in Stuttgart and Madrid.

Conditions turned as rain started to come down on a chilly Paris afternoon and Raducanu - because of her back issue - appeared keen to go off court rather than wait around for a decision. "Then in the second and third sets the conditions sped up a little bit, it was less windy and less rain, so it was about adapting."Raducanu was playing a younger opponent for the first time on the WTA Tour
