Billie Jean King Cup: Emma Raducanu set for Great Britain debut against Czech Republic

Emma Raducanu is set to make her Billie Jean King Cup debut when Great Britain play the Czech Republic in April.

The US Open champion has never played a match in the competition before but was named in the team in 2019 and 2020.

She will join Harriet Dart, Katie Swan and Sonay Kartal for the tie on clay in Prague on April 15-16.

Heather Watson will miss the tie to focus on improving her singles ranking while Katie Boulter is absent with a foot injury.

The Czech Republic have won the competition - which used to be called the Fed Cup - six times since 2011.
