Billie Jean King Cup Qualifiers 2025: Emma Raducanu withdraws from ties against Germany & Netherlands
• 1 MINUTE READ
British No.2 Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the Lexus GB Billie Jean King Cup squad for the upcoming Qualifiers in the Netherlands.
GB Captain Anne Keothavong said: “I recognise this has been a difficult decision for Emma. Of course you always miss a player of her quality on the team, we've seen what she can do in the past representing her country, but I have the utmost belief in the players who are travelling next week and will confirm a fifth player in due course."
The Great Britain team will include San Diego and Nottingham champion Katie Boulter, breakthrough star Sonay Kartal, experienced Billie Jean King Cup player Harriet Dart and Indian Wells doubles runner-up Olivia Nicholls.
The Brits are set to face Germany and Netherlands in the Billie Jean King Cup Qualifiers from 11-12 April at The Hague in Netherlands.
The GB team will need to top their group if they are to progress to the Finals later this year.
Last season, Keothavong’s side made the Billie Jean King Cup semi-finals for the second time in three years.
