British tennis star Emma Raducanu ends this year's campaign and has decided to continue with her coach into the 2026 season.
Raducanu made it to the third stage in three out of four Grand Slam events in the current campaign.
The British tennis star Emma Raducanu will not compete in her final two events in 2025 because of a medical condition that has affected her in recent days.
Raducanu, aged 22 was due to play in events in Asia but opted to return home to regain her health before starting her preparations for 2026.
Her upcoming training are set to feature her coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals will keep partnering in 2026.
She had her blood pressure taken while playing the initial match with Ann Li in Wuhan last week and withdrew when losing 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
She again required medical attention at the Ningbo Open this week, where she lost in three sets to local wildcard Zhu Lin in round one.
She was also playing noticeably restricted in the third set in the match with Zhu because of back discomfort that has affected her at times this year.
Such performances followed a positive campaign, in which Raducanu rose into the international top 30 after more than three years in more than three years, concluded with three straight losses.
The athlete was close to victory with 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 advanced to the semis in Washington, but her most impressive week was at March's Miami Open.
The British number one reached the quarter-finals of the WTA 1000 event, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro en route then falling in three sets to the world number four Pegula.
She was coached by Mark Petchey as coach from Miami until Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role in time for the US Open.
The original arrangement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was through the season's conclusion but the partnership will continue, with planned training sessions for the end of the year.
She mentioned that the trial session with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
She came very close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati during August.
Roig was also with Raducanu in New York, where she advanced to round three before being beaten by Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
