Paris 2024 Olympics: Emma Raducanu snubs wild card, Andy Murray in

Emma Raducanu has turned down the chance to play for Great Britain at this summer's Olympics - but two-time gold medallist Andy Murray is set to compete in Paris.

Raducanu, 21, is ranked too low to qualify as she continues to come back from surgery on her wrists and ankle last year.

The 2021 US Open champion was offered one of two places by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) that are reserved for former Grand Slam champions.

"I think she feels this isn’t going to be the right timing for her for this summer," said Iain Bates, head of GB's Olympic tennis team.
