Emma Raducanu says she is in a positive headspace with Roland Garros around the corner and does not want to "hide in a hole somewhere" after losing comfortably to Coco Gauff at the Italian Open.

Raducanu was comprehensively beaten on Monday as the Gauff advanced to the quarter-finals in Rome in an hour and 20 minutes.

The match was potentially Raducanu's final competitive action before the French Open, which gets under way on May 25.
