Emma Raducanu turned down the chance to play for Great Britain at this summer’s Olympics but two-time gold medal winner Andy Murray will compete in Paris.
The 21-year-old Raducanu is still recovering from wrist and ankle surgery last year and is ranked too low to qualify.
The 2021 US Open champion has been offered one of two spots reserved for former Grand Slam champions by the International Tennis Federation (ITF).
Raducane missed the French Open, which is played on the same clay courts as the Olympic tennis venue at Roland Garros, in order to be fit in time for the grass-court tournament in Britain.
“We have had extensive discussions with Emma over the past few weeks and beyond and it is clear how much it means to her to be part of the GB Olympic team,” said Ian Bates, head of the British Olympic tennis team.
“I think she feels like this summer isn’t the right time.
“She has many Olympic Games ahead of her and I’m very happy with her decision.”
The British nominees were announced at the Queen’s Club on Sunday.
The ITF is due to announce the full entry list for Paris 2024 on July 4.
Murray, who won gold medals in London in 2012 and Rio in 2016, has been given a place by the ITF in what could be the final tournament of the 37-year-old’s career.
Murray said earlier this year that he didn’t expect to play much beyond the summer.
Murray will be joined in the men’s singles by Cameron Norrie, Jack Draper and Dan Evans.
Katie Boulter is the only British woman to have qualified for the Olympics through rankings.
Murray and Dan Evans are also nominated in the men’s doubles.
Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski will compete in the men’s doubles due to their world rankings.
In the women’s doubles, Boulter and Heather Watson, and Harriet Dart and Maia Lumsden have been nominated.
The Olympic tennis tournament will be held from July 27 to August 4 at Roland Garros, home to the annual French Open.
Athletes will compete in five medal events: women’s singles, men’s singles, women’s doubles, men’s doubles and mixed doubles.
More to come later.
