Emma Raducanu ends the current season and plans to retain trainer into the 2026 season.
Emma Raducanu advanced to round three in three out of four Grand Slam events during the season.
The British tennis star Emma Raducanu will not compete in the last two tournaments this season because of a medical condition that has affected her in recent days.
Raducanu, aged 22 was due to play in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to regain her health prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.
Those preparations will include trainer Francisco Roig, as the pair have decided to continue collaborating for the upcoming season.
She underwent blood pressure monitoring during her first-round match against Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when losing 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
She needed once more a doctor's assessment at the recent Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the first round.
Her movement was far from freely in the third set against Zhu due to a lower back issue that has been a concern on several occasions in 2025.
Those results signaled a promising season, in which she climbed into the top 30 globally after a long gap since her previous ranking, concluded with three straight losses.
The athlete was close to victory with three match points before losing to Jessica Pegula in the third round in last month's Beijing event.
Raducanu won twenty-eight matches in the current season and made it to the semi-final round in Washington, but her standout performance was at the Miami event in March.
The British number one advanced to the quarters of a premier WTA event, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed on the way then falling in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.
Her coach was Mark Petchey as coach from Miami until Wimbledon, with Roig taking over ahead of the US Open.
The initial agreement with the former trainer of Nadal was for the remainder of the year but they will keep working together, with a training block pencilled in for the end of the year.
She mentioned that a three-day test period with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
She came very close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati in August.
Roig joined her in the New York tournament, where she reached the third round prior to losing to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
