Emma Raducanu wraps up this year's campaign and plans to retain her coach for 2026.
Emma Raducanu advanced to round three in three of the four Grand Slams in the current campaign.
Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in her remaining competitions this season because of a health issue that has affected her over the past 10 days.
Raducanu, aged 22 was scheduled to compete in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to regain her health ahead of launching plans for the 2026 season.
These plans are set to feature her coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals have decided to continue collaborating in 2026.
The tennis professional required blood pressure checks during her first-round match against Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and withdrew when losing 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
Another medical visit was necessary a doctor's assessment at this week's Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the opening round.
Raducanu was also moving noticeably restricted in the third set against Zhu because of the lower back problem that has been a concern on several occasions in 2025.
Those results signaled a promising season, in which she climbed into the international top 30 for the first time in more than three years, concluded with three straight losses.
She held three match points before losing to American player Jessica Pegula in round three in Beijing last month.
Raducanu won twenty-eight matches during 2025 and advanced to the semis in Washington, but her most impressive week was at March's Miami Open.
Ranked first in Britain reached the quarter-finals of the WTA 1000 event, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed en route prior to a loss in a three-set match to the world number four Pegula.
Her coach was Mark Petchey between Miami and Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in in time for the US Open.
The original arrangement with the former trainer of Nadal was through the season's conclusion but the partnership will continue, with planned training sessions in the coming months.
She mentioned that a three-day test period alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
She came very close to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at their initial event as a team in Cincinnati in August.
The coach also accompanied Raducanu in New York, where she advanced to round three then falling to Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
