Emma Raducanu has entered the WTA 500 tournament in Linz, which runs from April 6 to 12, meaning she's all but ruled herself out of representing Britain in the Billie Jean King Cup.
The British number one's decision to compete in Austria clashes directly with the national team's qualifier against Australia, scheduled for that very same week.
It's another instance of Raducanu prioritising regular tour events over the team competition often dubbed the 'World Cup' of women's tennis.
The world number 24 appears to have chosen the chance to collect valuable ranking points rather than pulling on the British jersey once again.

| GETTYThe Linz tournament is switching things up this year, moving from its traditional hard court surface to indoor clay.
It's a strong field too, with Raducanu joining fellow former Grand Slam winners Jelena Ostapenko, Barbora Krejcikova and Marketa Vondrousova.
Former world number one Karolina Pliskova has also committed to the event, alongside ex-top-10 players Emma Navarro and Daria Kasatkina.
Meanwhile, the British BJK Cup squad face a rather tricky assignment, taking on Australia from April 10 to 11 at John Cain Arena inside Melbourne Park.
It's an awkward trip to the other side of the world on hard courts, only to then fly straight back to Europe for the clay court season.
Anne Keothavong had already expressed her disappointment that Emma Raducanu decided against joining the Billie Jean King Cup team last year
| REUTERSRaducanu hasn't turned out for the British BJK Cup team since the end of 2024, and last year she gave both qualifier ties against Germany and the Netherlands a miss.
Katie Boulter, Sonay Kartal and Jodie Burrage stepped up in her place and did the job, booking Britain's spot in the BJK Cup Finals.
But Raducanu also withdrew from those finals in Shenzhen, opting instead for a wildcard at the Korea Open in Seoul.
Captain Anne Keothavong didn't hide her feelings about it, calling her absence "disappointing".
Raducanu last played in Linz back in 2021 when it was still a hard court event, losing to Xinyu Wang in the opening round.
