French Open 2023: Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart among Britons beaten in qualifying

Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart were among the British players who saw their French Open hopes ended in the second qualifying round on Wednesday.

British number three Boulter lost 6-2 2-6 7-6 (10-3) against American 19-year-old Ashlyn Krueger.

Dart, the British number four, won the first set before falling to a 1-6 6-1 6-2 defeat by France's Elsa Jacquemot.

World number 316 Fran Jones was left in tears after she was forced to retire from her match against Ylena In-Albon.

The 22-year-old, who stunned former grand slam semi-finalist Coco Vandeweghe on Monday, had trailed 4-1.
