British tennis star Emma Raducanu ends the current season and will keep her coach into the 2026 season.
The British player made it to the third stage in three out of four Grand Slams during the season.
Emma Raducanu from Great Britain will not compete in her final two events in 2025 as a result of the illness she has been fighting for the last week and a half.
Raducanu, aged 22 was scheduled to compete in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but opted to return home to regain her health prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.
Her upcoming training are set to feature coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals have decided to continue collaborating again next season.
She underwent blood pressure monitoring in her opening round against Ann Li in Wuhan and retired when behind 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
Another medical visit was necessary a doctor's assessment at this week's Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to local wildcard Zhu Lin in round one.
Her movement was far from freely in the final set against Zhu due to a lower back issue that has troubled her during parts of the season.
These outcomes followed a positive campaign, in which Raducanu rose into the top 30 globally after a long gap for the first time since 2022, finished with a trio of defeats.
The athlete was close to victory with three match points then was defeated by American player Jessica Pegula in the third round in last month's Beijing event.
The player achieved 28 matches in the current season and advanced to the semis in the Washington tournament, but her standout performance was at the Miami Open in March.
The British number one made the last eight of the WTA 1000 event, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way then falling in three sets to the world number four Pegula.
She worked with Mark Petchey from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role in time for the US Open.
The initial agreement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was until the end of the season but the partnership will continue, with a training session scheduled in the coming months.
Raducanu told that the trial session with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as they tried to keep the meeting secret.
The player was close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at their first tournament together in August's Cincinnati tournament.
Roig joined her in New York, where she made the third stage before being beaten by Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
