The Lawn Tennis Association were unaware that Emma Raducanu was withdrawing from the Kremlin Cup this month and found out of the news via social media.
Sportsmail understands that the 18-year-old's schedule is carefully curated by her management company IMG and the WTA Tour, leaving the LTA with no insight or control of her tournament commitments.
No reason has been given as to why she has opted out of the Kremlin Cup in Moscow given there is no schedule clash with her next slated event, the Transylvanian Open in the Romanian city of Cluj Napoca.
