British tennis star Emma Raducanu ends her season and has decided to continue with her coach through next year.
Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four Grand Slam events this year.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her remaining competitions this season as a result of a health issue she has been fighting for the last week and a half.
At 22 years old was scheduled to compete in events in Asia but chose to travel back to regain her health ahead of launching her preparations for 2026.
Her upcoming training are set to feature her coach Francisco Roig, as they have decided to continue collaborating for the upcoming season.
The tennis professional required blood pressure checks in her opening round versus Ann Li in Wuhan and retired when losing 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.
She needed once more a doctor's assessment at the recent Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to Chinese wildcard Zhu Lin in round one.
She was also playing far from freely in the third set versus Zhu owing to a lower back issue that has been a concern on several occasions in 2025.
Those results followed a positive campaign, in which the player advanced into the international top 30 for the first time since her previous ranking, ended with three successive defeats.
She held three match points prior to falling to American player Jessica Pegula in round three in last month's Beijing event.
She secured 28 matches during 2025 and advanced to the semis in Washington, but her most impressive week was at March's Miami Open.
The British number one reached the quarter-finals of the WTA 1000 event, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro during the tournament before losing in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.
Her coach was Mark Petchey as coach between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role for the US Open.
The original arrangement with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was through the season's conclusion but the partnership will continue, with planned training sessions late this year.
The athlete revealed that a three-day test period alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
The player was close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their first tournament together in August's Cincinnati tournament.
Roig joined her in New York, where she reached the third round then falling to 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
