Laura Robson has decided not to use her protected ranking of 58 to gain direct entry into January's Australian Open.
The 21-year-old has played in eight events since a 17-month lay-off with wrist problems, including the US Open.
However, playing in New York - where she lost in the first round to Elena Vesnina - means the world number 555 can only use the protected ranking to enter one more Grand Slam.
She may now instead opt to wait for the French Open.
In the meantime, Robson is likely to try and build up her ranking at smaller events.
I think that's a sensible decision as she needs more competitive matches to get back to full fitness before going into one of the 4 major Opens right at the beginning of the next season. I guess that a realistic target is to get back into the top 100 by the end of next season.
