Emma Raducanu concludes the current season and will keep trainer through next year.
The British player made it to the third stage in three of the four major tournaments during the season.
The British tennis star Emma Raducanu has pulled out of the last two tournaments of the year due to a health issue that has affected her in recent days.
Raducanu, aged 22 was due to play in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to rest and recuperate ahead of launching plans for the 2026 season.
These plans will include trainer Francisco Roig, as both individuals will keep partnering for the upcoming season.
The tennis professional required blood pressure checks during her first-round match with Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when behind 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
Another medical visit was necessary a visit from the doctor at this week's Ningbo Open, where she was defeated in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the opening round.
She was also playing with clear difficulty in the final set versus Zhu due to back discomfort that has troubled her during parts of the season.
Those results meant an encouraging season, in which Raducanu rose into the world's top 30 after a long gap since her previous ranking, ended with three successive defeats.
Raducanu had three match points then was defeated by American player Jessica Pegula in the third stage in Beijing last month.
The player achieved twenty-eight matches during 2025 and reached the semi-finals in the Washington tournament, but her most impressive week was at the Miami event in March.
Ranked first in Britain made the last eight of this WTA 1000 tournament, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed during the tournament then falling in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.
She was coached by Mark Petchey from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in for the US Open.
The original arrangement with the former trainer of Nadal was for the remainder of the year but the collaboration persists, with a training block pencilled in for the end of the year.
She mentioned that the trial session with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they tried to keep the meeting secret.
She nearly succeeded to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at their first tournament together in Cincinnati during August.
Roig joined her in the New York tournament, where she advanced to round three prior to losing to Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
