Emma Raducanu concludes her season and has decided to continue with her coach into the 2026 season.
Emma Raducanu advanced to round three in three out of four Grand Slam events during the season.
Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in the last two tournaments in 2025 due to a health issue that has affected her over the past 10 days.
At 22 years old was scheduled to compete in events in Asia but opted to return home to recover ahead of launching her preparations for 2026.
Those preparations will include trainer Francisco Roig, as the pair will keep partnering for the upcoming season.
Raducanu had her blood pressure taken while playing the initial match with Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and stopped playing when losing 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
She again required medical attention at this week's Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to Chinese wildcard Zhu Lin in round one.
Her movement was with clear difficulty in the third set versus Zhu owing to back discomfort that has been a concern at times this year.
Such performances signaled a promising season, in which she climbed into the world's top 30 after a long gap in more than three years, concluded with three straight losses.
The athlete was close to victory with three match points before losing to Jessica Pegula in the third stage in Beijing last month.
The player achieved 28 victories in the current season and advanced to the semis in Washington, but the highlight of her season was at March's Miami Open.
The British number one advanced to the quarters of this WTA 1000 tournament, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed during the tournament then falling in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.
She was coached by Mark Petchey as coach from Miami until Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role ahead of the US Open.
The original arrangement with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was until the end of the season but the collaboration persists, with a training session scheduled in the coming months.
She mentioned that a three-day test period alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
She came very close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at their initial event as a team in August's Cincinnati tournament.
Roig was also with Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she advanced to round three before being beaten by Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
