British tennis star Emma Raducanu concludes her season and will keep her coach through next year.
Emma Raducanu reached the third round in three out of four major tournaments in the current campaign.
Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in the last two tournaments this season due to a health issue she has been fighting in recent days.
The 22-year-old was scheduled to compete in events in Asia but has decided to fly home to rest and recuperate before starting her preparations for 2026.
Her upcoming training will include trainer Francisco Roig, as they have agreed to work together for the upcoming season.
She underwent blood pressure monitoring during her first-round match with Ann Li in Wuhan 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 was defeated in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the opening round.
Her movement was noticeably restricted in the third set against Zhu due to a lower back issue that has affected her on several occasions in 2025.
These outcomes meant an encouraging season, in which she climbed into the international top 30 after more than three years since her previous ranking, finished with a trio of defeats.
She held three match points then was defeated by Pegula in round three in last month's Beijing event.
She secured 28 matches this year and made it to the semi-final round in the Washington tournament, but the highlight of her season was at the Miami event in March.
As Britain's top player reached the quarter-finals of a premier WTA event, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way prior to a loss 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 first plan with the former trainer of Nadal was until the end of the season but the collaboration persists, with planned training sessions in the coming months.
The athlete revealed that her three-day trial with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
She came very close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati during August.
Roig joined her in the New York tournament, where she reached the third round before being beaten by Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
