Emma Raducanu remains hopeful of playing her opening-round match at Indian Wells on Thursday despite revealing the wrist injury she suffered last year has "started to flare back up".
Raducanu is scheduled to face Montenegro's Danka Kovinic on Thursday afternoon in California, but speaking to the media on Wednesday, was unable to confirm whether she'll be able to take the court.
The British No 1, who hasn't played since the Australian Open in January, withdrew from a mixed doubles exhibition match she had been due to play in with compatriot Cameron Norrie on Wednesday.
Speaking to BBC Sport, the 20-year-old added: "I've definitely been managing my load. It's something that has just come back, so I'm trying to be as cautious as possible.
"I'm going to do everything I can to be there tomorrow.
"I think we always play through pain and it's just a matter of how much can you take - I'm looking forward to hopefully being out there tomorrow."
