Raducanu, who shot to prominence with a shocking triumph on the 2021 US Open as a teenage qualifier, is ranked too low for direct entry into the highest WTA tournaments.
A protected damage rating of 103rd helped the previous British primary enter final month’s Australian Open without having to undergo qualifying.
However the rule – which permits gamers to freeze their rating if they’re out for six months or extra – has not enabled Raducanu to maneuver straight into the Indian Wells or Miami predominant attracts.
Eight wildcards can be found for Indian Wells, which has already awarded two to American seven-time main champion Williams and Danish former world primary Wozniacki.
If Raducanu doesn’t obtain a wildcard in Indian Wells, she might play in qualifying.
Raducanu missed a lot of the 2023 season after operations on each of her wrists, in addition to ankle surgical procedure, earlier than returning to tour in January.
She has gained three of the seven matches of her comeback up to now and, as an alternative of taking a wildcard for Dubai after shedding to Kalinina, returned to the UK for a coaching block on the LTA’s Nationwide Tennis Centre.
