Emma Raducanu is determined to compete for Great Britain at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, despite uncertainty over her participation.
The 20-year-old, who hasn't played for GB in nearly a year, opted out of the upcoming Billie Jean King Cup qualifying round for the World Finals against France in Coventry next month. But prior to leaving for the Miami Open, Raducanu said she intends to return to the GB team fold once she has found more consistent fitness.
But in order for the Bromley local to fulfil her dream and play in the most prestigious global sporting event, she needs to be available in the next twelve months to fulfil entry criteria for next year’s Games. “Of course I would love to play the Billie Jean King Cup. It's just this scenario is not the best for my body,” Raducanu said. “I really need to look after myself and do what's best for me on the match court. I would love to play the Olympics.”
