The 22-year-old tennis player Emma Raducanu wraps up this year's campaign and plans to retain coach into the 2026 season.
The British player advanced to round three in three of the four Grand Slams in the current campaign.
The British tennis star Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the last two tournaments this season due to a health issue she has been fighting for the last week and a half.
Raducanu, aged 22 was due to play in events in Asia but opted to return home to rest and recuperate ahead of launching plans for the 2026 season.
Her upcoming training will include her coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals have agreed to work together in 2026.
She had her blood pressure taken during her first-round match with Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when behind 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
She again required medical attention at the recent Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in round one.
Raducanu was also moving far from freely in the final set in the match with Zhu due to a lower back issue that has troubled her on several occasions in 2025.
Such performances meant an encouraging season, in which she climbed into the international top 30 for the first time for the first time since 2022, concluded with three straight losses.
She held three match points prior to falling to American player Jessica Pegula in round three in Beijing last month.
The player achieved twenty-eight matches this year and advanced to the semis in the Washington tournament, but the highlight of her season was at the Miami event in March.
Ranked first in Britain made the last eight of this WTA 1000 tournament, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed during the tournament prior to a loss in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.
She was coached by Mark Petchey from Miami until Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role ahead of the US Open.
The initial agreement with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was for the remainder of the year but the collaboration persists, with a training session scheduled in the coming months.
The athlete revealed that a three-day test period with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they tried to keep the meeting secret.
She nearly succeeded to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati during August.
Roig joined her in New York, where she advanced to round three prior to losing to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
