Emma Raducanu ends the current season and plans to retain her coach into the 2026 season.

The British player made it to the third stage in three out of four Grand Slam events in the current campaign.

Britain's Emma Raducanu has pulled out of her final two events in 2025 as a result of a health issue that has affected her in recent days.

The 22-year-old was scheduled to compete in events in Asia but has decided to fly home to recover prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.

Those preparations are set to feature her coach Francisco Roig, as the pair have decided to continue collaborating again next season.

Raducanu underwent blood pressure monitoring in her opening round with Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when losing 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.

She needed once more medical attention at this week's Ningbo Open, where she fell in a three-set match to Chinese wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round.

Raducanu was also moving with clear difficulty in the deciding set versus Zhu because of the lower back problem that has affected her at times this year.

Those results signaled a promising season, in which Raducanu rose into the international top 30 after a long gap since her previous ranking, ended with three successive defeats.

Raducanu had three match points prior to falling to Jessica Pegula in the third round in last month's Beijing event.

Raducanu won twenty-eight matches in the current season and made it to the semi-final round in Washington, but the highlight of her season was at the Miami event in March.

The British number one advanced to the quarters of the WTA 1000 event, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro during the tournament before losing in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.

She was coached by Mark Petchey as coach from Miami until Wimbledon, with Roig taking over ahead of the US Open.

The first plan with the former trainer of Nadal was until the end of the season but the collaboration persists, with planned training sessions for the end of the year.

Raducanu told that her three-day trial with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.

She nearly succeeded to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati during August.

Roig was also with Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she made the third stage before being beaten by Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
