Overview

• Emma Raducanu has opted out of Great Britain's Billie Jean King Cup squad, citing the need for recovery and a focused training block.
• Her decision follows a busy schedule of seven tournaments in the first three months of 2025, including a strong quarter-final run at the Miami Open.
• Raducanu's withdrawal is a significant loss for the British team, as she was a key player in last year's competition, winning all five of her matches.
• British team captain Anne Keothavong expressed understanding of Raducanu's decision and confidence in the remaining squad members.
• Raducanu is expected to return to competition before the French Open, with the Madrid Masters starting April 22 being a likely target.
