être démarqué (sport)

[DearPrudence]

Good afternoon

In team sports, in French, we say "être démarqué(e)" when there is no player from the opposite team surrounding / marking (UK) ? / covering (?) (US) you.
Apparently, in American English, this is "to be open".
What is it in British English?

I give you an example
"Passe la balle à Julie, elle est démarquée".
"Pass the ball to Julie, she is open"?
I don't think "unmarked" works, right?

Thanks

Yes, "unmarked" is correct in BE. E.g., "he was left completely unmarked only six yards out." In AE "open" is correct.

"Marquer" in BE is "mark". In AE, I believe it's generally "guard" or "cover".

Generally in the UK, we say "unmarked".
