Emma Raducanu concludes this year's campaign and will keep coach into the 2026 season.
Emma Raducanu advanced to round three in three out of four Grand Slams in the current campaign.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her final two events of the year as a result of a medical condition she has been battling in recent days.
The 22-year-old was due to play in events in Asia but opted to return home to recover prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.
These plans are set to feature her coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals have decided to continue collaborating again next season.
She underwent blood pressure monitoring during her first-round match against Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and stopped playing when trailing 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 was defeated in three sets to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the first round.
Her movement was with clear difficulty in the final set in the match with Zhu because of the lower back problem that has troubled her on several occasions in 2025.
Those results followed a positive campaign, in which the player advanced into the top 30 globally for the first time for the first time since 2022, concluded with three straight losses.
Raducanu had three match points prior to falling to Jessica Pegula in round three in the Beijing tournament last month.
Raducanu won 28 victories in the current season and advanced to the semis in the Washington tournament, but the highlight of her season was at March's Miami Open.
The British number one advanced to the quarters of a premier WTA event, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed during the tournament then falling in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.
She worked with Mark Petchey as coach from Miami until Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in ahead of the US Open.
The initial agreement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was for the remainder of the year but the partnership will continue, with planned training sessions for the end of the year.
The athlete revealed that the trial session alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as they tried to keep the meeting secret.
She nearly succeeded to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their initial event as a team in Cincinnati in August.
The coach also accompanied Raducanu in New York, where she advanced to round three prior to losing to Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
