Injured Sonay Kartal out of Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup qualifier against Australia

“Sadly it means I won’t be joining the girls in Australia but wishing them the best of luck for the tie.

“Gutted to be sidelined but already looking forward to being back out there soon. I’ll see you on the clay.”

It leaves world number 181 Harriet Dart as the team’s highest-ranked singles player for the tie, which takes place on 10-11 April.

GB captain Anne Keothavong faced a tough task persuading the top British players to travel to Australia for a hard-court tie at a time of the year when the European clay-court season is getting under way.

She has also selected Katie Swan, 17-year-old Mika Stojsavljevic and Jodie Burrage for the contest.

Australia have picked three players inside the world’s top 80 in Maya Joint, Talia Gibson and Kimberly Birrell.
