Emma Raducanu wraps up the current season and will keep her coach into the 2026 season.
Emma Raducanu reached the third round in three of the four major tournaments in the current campaign.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her final two events this season due to a health issue that has affected her over the past 10 days.
The 22-year-old had planned to participate in events in Asia but chose to travel back to recover ahead of launching plans for the 2026 season.
Those preparations are set to feature her coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals will keep partnering for the upcoming season.
Raducanu had her blood pressure taken while playing the initial match with Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when losing 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
She again required a doctor's assessment at this week's Ningbo Open, where she fell in a three-set match to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the opening round.
She was also playing with clear difficulty in the third set in the match with Zhu because of back discomfort that has affected her on several occasions in 2025.
These outcomes followed a positive campaign, in which Raducanu rose into the top 30 globally for the first time in more than three years, ended with three successive defeats.
The athlete was close to victory with three match points then was defeated by Jessica Pegula in the third stage in Beijing last month.
Raducanu won 28 victories during 2025 and reached the semi-finals in Washington, but her most impressive week was at March's Miami Open.
As Britain's top player advanced to the quarters of a premier WTA event, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro en route prior to a loss 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 initial agreement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was until the end of the season but the collaboration persists, with planned training sessions for the end of the year.
Raducanu told that the trial session with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
She nearly succeeded to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at their first tournament together in Cincinnati during August.
The coach also accompanied Raducanu in New York, where she made the third stage then falling to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
