British tennis star Emma Raducanu concludes her season and plans to retain coach through next year.
Emma Raducanu advanced to round three in three Grand Slam tournaments Grand Slam events in the current campaign.
Emma Raducanu from Great Britain will not compete in the last two tournaments of the year because of a medical condition she has been fighting over the past 10 days.
Raducanu, aged 22 was scheduled to compete in events in Asia but opted to return home to rest and recuperate prior to beginning plans for the 2026 season.
Those preparations are set to feature coach Francisco Roig, as they have decided to continue collaborating in 2026.
She underwent blood pressure monitoring while playing the initial match against Ann Li in Wuhan last week and stopped playing when behind 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
She again required medical attention at the recent Ningbo Open, where she was defeated in three sets to Chinese wildcard Zhu Lin in the first round.
Her movement was with clear difficulty in the deciding set versus Zhu due to a lower back issue that has been a concern at times this year.
These outcomes meant an encouraging season, in which Raducanu rose into the world's top 30 after a long gap for the first time since 2022, ended with three successive defeats.
She held three match points then was defeated by Jessica Pegula in round three in last month's Beijing event.
Raducanu won twenty-eight matches during 2025 and made it to the semi-final round in the Washington tournament, but the highlight of her season was at March's Miami Open.
As Britain's top player reached the quarter-finals of this WTA 1000 tournament, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way prior to a loss in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.
She worked with Mark Petchey from Miami until Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in in time for the US Open.
The initial agreement with the former trainer of Nadal was for the remainder of the year but the partnership will continue, with a training block pencilled in for the end of the year.
The athlete revealed that the trial session alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
She nearly succeeded to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their first tournament together in Cincinnati in August.
Roig joined her in New York, where she made the third stage before being beaten by Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
