The 22-year-old tennis player Emma Raducanu wraps up her season and plans to retain coach for 2026.
Raducanu advanced to round three in three out of four Grand Slams during the season.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her remaining competitions in 2025 as a result of a medical condition she has been fighting over the past 10 days.
At 22 years old was scheduled to compete in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to rest and recuperate ahead of launching plans for the 2026 season.
Those preparations will involve trainer Francisco Roig, as both individuals will keep partnering in 2026.
She required blood pressure checks in her opening round against Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and retired when trailing 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
Another medical visit was necessary a visit from the doctor at the recent Ningbo Open, where she fell in a three-set match to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round.
Raducanu was also moving far from freely in the final set versus Zhu owing to back discomfort that has affected her during parts of the season.
Such performances followed a positive campaign, in which Raducanu rose into the world's top 30 after a long gap in more than three years, concluded with three straight losses.
Raducanu had three match points before losing to American player Jessica Pegula in the third stage in the Beijing tournament last month.
The player achieved twenty-eight matches during 2025 and reached the semi-finals in the Washington tournament, but the highlight of her season was at March's Miami Open.
As Britain's top player reached the quarter-finals of this WTA 1000 tournament, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed on the way prior to a loss in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.
Her coach was Mark Petchey between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig taking over for the US Open.
The first plan with Rafael Nadal's former coach was through the season's conclusion but the collaboration persists, with a training session scheduled in the coming months.
The athlete revealed that her three-day trial with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
She nearly succeeded to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their initial event as a team in Cincinnati in August.
The coach also accompanied Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she advanced to round three then falling to 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
