British tennis star Emma Raducanu ends this year's campaign and will keep coach into the 2026 season.
The British player made it to the third stage 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 as a result of the illness that has affected her for the last week and a half.
At 22 years old was scheduled to compete in Tokyo and Hong Kong but has decided to fly home to regain her health ahead of launching plans for the 2026 season.
These plans are set to feature trainer Francisco Roig, as both individuals have agreed to work together for the upcoming season.
She required blood pressure checks while playing the initial match against Ann Li in Wuhan last week and stopped playing when trailing 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
She again required medical attention at the recent Ningbo Open, 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 final set in the match with Zhu because of back discomfort that has affected her on several occasions in 2025.
Those results meant an encouraging season, in which Raducanu rose into the top 30 globally after a long gap in more than three years, ended with three successive defeats.
She held three match points before losing to Jessica Pegula in the third stage in last month's Beijing event.
She secured 28 victories in the current season 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 a premier WTA event, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed en route before losing in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.
She was coached by trainer Mark Petchey from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Roig taking over for the US Open.
The first plan with the former trainer of Nadal was through the season's conclusion but they will keep working together, with a training block pencilled in for the end of the year.
Raducanu told that her three-day trial alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
The player was close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their first tournament together in Cincinnati in August.
Roig joined her in the New York tournament, where she made the third stage before being beaten by Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
