The 22-year-old tennis player Emma Raducanu concludes her season and has decided to continue with coach for 2026.
The British player reached the third round in three out of four Grand Slam events this year.
Emma Raducanu from Great Britain will not compete in her final two events this season because of a medical condition she has been battling for the last week and a half.
Raducanu, aged 22 was due to play in Tokyo and Hong Kong but has decided to fly home to recover prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.
Those preparations 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 versus Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when behind 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
Another medical visit was necessary a visit from the doctor at the Ningbo Open this week, where she fell in a three-set match to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the opening round.
Raducanu was also moving with clear difficulty in the third set versus Zhu because of a lower back issue that has affected her at times this year.
Such performances followed a positive campaign, in which the player advanced into the top 30 globally after more than three years in more than three years, ended with three successive defeats.
She held three match points before losing to Jessica Pegula in the third round in Beijing last month.
The player achieved 28 matches during 2025 and reached the semi-finals in the Washington tournament, but her most impressive week was at the Miami event in March.
As Britain's top player advanced to the quarters of this WTA 1000 tournament, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro en route before losing in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.
She worked with Mark Petchey as coach from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Roig taking over for the US Open.
The first plan with the former trainer of Nadal was until the end of the season but they will keep working together, with a training block pencilled in for the end of the year.
She mentioned that her three-day trial alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
The player was close to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at their initial event as a team in August's Cincinnati tournament.
Roig was also with Raducanu in New York, where she made the third stage prior to losing to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
