British tennis star Emma Raducanu ends her season and will keep coach into the 2026 season.
Emma Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four Grand Slams in the current campaign.
Emma Raducanu from Great Britain will not compete in her remaining competitions in 2025 as a result of a medical condition she has been battling over the past 10 days.
At 22 years old was due to play in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to regain her health before starting plans for the 2026 season.
These plans are set to feature trainer Francisco Roig, as both individuals will keep partnering for the upcoming season.
She required blood pressure checks in her opening round against Ann Li in Wuhan last week and withdrew when losing 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.
She again required a doctor's assessment at this week's Ningbo Open, where she fell in a three-set match to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round.
Her movement was far from freely in the final set versus Zhu owing to back discomfort that has affected her during parts of the season.
Those results followed a positive campaign, in which Raducanu rose into the world's top 30 after a long gap in more than three years, ended with three successive defeats.
Raducanu had three match points prior to falling to American player Jessica Pegula in the third round in Beijing last month.
The player achieved twenty-eight matches during 2025 and advanced to the semis in Washington, but the highlight of her season was at the Miami event in March.
Ranked first in Britain made the last eight of the WTA 1000 event, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way before losing in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.
She was coached by trainer Mark Petchey from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in for the US Open.
The original arrangement with the former trainer of Nadal was for the remainder of the year but the collaboration persists, with a training session scheduled in the coming months.
She mentioned that her three-day trial with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
She came very close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their initial event as a team in Cincinnati during August.
Roig joined her in the New York tournament, where she reached the third round before being beaten by Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
