Emma Raducanu wraps up her season and has decided to continue with trainer through next year.
Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four Grand Slam events in the current campaign.
The British tennis star Emma Raducanu will not compete in her remaining competitions in 2025 as a result of the illness she has been fighting in recent days.
Raducanu, aged 22 had planned to participate in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to rest and recuperate prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.
These plans will include coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals will keep partnering again next season.
Raducanu underwent blood pressure monitoring during her first-round match with Ann Li in Wuhan and retired when trailing 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.
She needed once more a doctor's assessment at the Ningbo Open this week, where she was defeated in three sets to Chinese wildcard Zhu Lin in round one.
She was also playing noticeably restricted in the final set versus Zhu owing to a lower back issue that has troubled her on several occasions in 2025.
These outcomes followed a positive campaign, in which the player advanced into the top 30 globally after a long gap for the first time since 2022, finished with a trio of defeats.
She held three match points prior to falling to American player Jessica Pegula in the third stage in last month's Beijing event.
Raducanu won 28 victories in the current season and reached the semi-finals in Washington, but her most impressive week was at the Miami event in March.
Ranked first in Britain reached the quarter-finals of the WTA 1000 event, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed on the way before losing in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.
Her coach was Mark Petchey as coach from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role ahead of the US Open.
The original arrangement with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was through the season's conclusion but the collaboration persists, with a training block pencilled in for the end of the year.
The athlete revealed that the trial session with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they tried to keep the meeting secret.
The player was close to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at their initial event as a team in Cincinnati in August.
Roig was also with Raducanu in New York, where she advanced to round three before being beaten by 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
