Emma Raducanu wraps up this year's campaign and plans to retain coach through next year.
Emma Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four Grand Slam events this year.
The British tennis star Emma Raducanu will not compete in her final two events in 2025 because of a health issue that has affected her in recent days.
The 22-year-old was scheduled to compete in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but opted to return home to recover before starting next year's training.
These plans will include coach Francisco Roig, as they have decided to continue collaborating for the upcoming season.
The tennis professional underwent blood pressure monitoring in her opening round against Ann Li in Wuhan and retired when behind 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
She needed once more medical attention at this week's Ningbo Open, where she was defeated in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in round one.
She was also playing noticeably restricted in the final set in the match with Zhu because of a lower back issue that has troubled her on several occasions in 2025.
Those results meant an encouraging season, in which the player advanced into the world's top 30 after a long gap since her previous ranking, concluded with three straight losses.
She held three match points prior to falling to American player Jessica Pegula in the third stage in the Beijing tournament last month.
She secured twenty-eight matches in the current season and advanced to the semis in Washington, but her most impressive week was at the Miami event in March.
As Britain's top player reached the quarter-finals of the WTA 1000 event, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed en route prior to a loss in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.
She worked with Mark Petchey as coach between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role for the US Open.
The original arrangement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was for the remainder of the year but they will keep working together, with planned training sessions in the coming months.
She mentioned that a three-day test period with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
She nearly succeeded to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati during August.
Roig joined her in New York, where she reached the third round then falling to 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
