Emma Raducanu concludes the current season and has decided to continue with her coach into the 2026 season.
Emma Raducanu advanced to round three in three of the four Grand Slams during the season.
The British tennis star Emma Raducanu will not compete in the last two tournaments of the year because of a health issue she has been battling over the past 10 days.
The 22-year-old was due to play in events in Asia but opted to return home to regain her health prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.
Her upcoming training will include her coach Francisco Roig, as the pair have decided to continue collaborating for the upcoming season.
The tennis professional required blood pressure checks in her opening round versus Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and stopped playing when trailing 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
She again required medical attention at the Ningbo Open this week, where she was defeated in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the first round.
Raducanu was also moving far from freely in the deciding set in the match with Zhu owing to back discomfort that has troubled her on several occasions in 2025.
Those results followed a positive campaign, in which Raducanu rose into the top 30 globally after a long gap for the first time since 2022, finished with a trio of defeats.
Raducanu had three match points then was defeated by Jessica Pegula in the third round in Beijing last month.
The player achieved 28 victories this year and reached the semi-finals in the Washington tournament, but her most impressive week was at the Miami event in March.
Ranked first in Britain advanced to the quarters of a premier WTA event, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro during the tournament then falling in three sets to the world number four Pegula.
She was coached by trainer Mark Petchey from Miami until Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in in time for the US Open.
The first plan with the former trainer of Nadal was for the remainder of the year but the collaboration persists, with planned training sessions for the end of the year.
She mentioned that the trial session with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
The player was close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their first tournament together in August's Cincinnati tournament.
Roig was also with Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she reached the third round then falling to 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
