Emma Raducanu's 2022 season may well not have gone to plan so far but British tennis fans will still be hoping for some more Grand Slam magic from the talented teenager in the coming weeks.
The British No.1 burst onto the scene last year at Wimbledon before winning the US Open in September as she became the first ever qualifier to win a Grand Slam.
Unsurprisingly, she hasn't been able to maintain that level of achievement since with injuries playing a major part in hampering her progression this year.
But with the grass-court season just around the corner, will Raducanu look to defeat the odds once again at Roland Garros later this month?

Is Emma Raducanu playing at the 2022 French Open?
At present, Raducanu has every intention of playing at this month's French Open which begins on Sunday, May 22 and will be listed in the main draw.
However, she cast doubt on her potential appearance after she was forced to retire from her Italian Open first-round match with Bianca Andreescu with a back injury last week.
Raducanu has enjoyed her time on clay so far this season, reaching the quarter-finals in Stuttgart, as well as the last-16 in Madrid where she also suffered with back problems.
Speaking after her exit in Italy, she insisted pulling out of the French Open would be a last resort if she needed to let her back heal properly.
"Skipping Roland Garros? Obviously I would not want to lose it but I have to make sure that my back is totally healed, I don't want to play my next match still with physical problems," she said.
"Despite everything these weeks have been positive and I just have to continue on this path."
What is Emma Raducanu's French Open record?
Given this is Raducanu's first full year on the WTA Tour, Raducanu has never played at the French Open.
If she plays in the French capital it will mark only the fourth Grand Slam appearance of her young career.

Raducanu made headlines when she became the youngest British woman to reach the last-16 in the Open Era at Wimbledon last year, entering the tournament as the world No.338.
She had to retire in the fourth round after suffering breathing difficulties but a few months later bounced back to complete a stunning win in New York at the US Open.
Her third appearance at a Grand Slam and Australian Open debut in January ended in the second round with defeat to Danka Kovinic.
