Emma Raducanu wraps up her season and will keep trainer for 2026.
Raducanu advanced to round three in three of the four major tournaments this year.
The British tennis star Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her remaining competitions of the year as a result of a health issue that has affected her over the past 10 days.
At 22 years old was due to play in Tokyo and Hong Kong but has decided to fly home to regain her health before starting her preparations for 2026.
These plans are set to feature trainer Francisco Roig, as the pair will keep partnering again next season.
She underwent blood pressure monitoring in her opening round versus Ann Li in Wuhan last week and withdrew when behind 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
Another medical visit was necessary medical attention at this week's Ningbo Open, where she was defeated in three sets to local wildcard Zhu Lin in round one.
She was also playing with clear difficulty in the third set in the match with Zhu because of the lower back problem that has been a concern during parts of the season.
These outcomes followed a positive campaign, in which she climbed into the international top 30 after a long gap in more than three years, finished with a trio of defeats.
Raducanu had three match points prior to falling to Jessica Pegula in round three in the Beijing tournament last month.
The player achieved 28 matches in the current season and advanced to the semis in Washington, but the highlight of her season was at March's Miami Open.
The British number one made the last eight of this WTA 1000 tournament, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro during the tournament then falling in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.
She worked with Mark Petchey from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in ahead of the US Open.
The initial agreement with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was for the remainder of the year but the partnership will continue, with a training block pencilled in in the coming months.
The athlete revealed that the trial session alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
She came very close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in August's Cincinnati tournament.
The coach also accompanied Raducanu in New York, where she reached the third round prior to losing to Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
