Emma Raducanu concludes her season and has decided to continue with her coach for 2026.
Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four major tournaments during the season.
Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in the last two tournaments this season as a result of a health issue she has been battling for the last week and a half.
The 22-year-old was scheduled to compete in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but has decided to fly home to recover before starting next year's training.
These plans will include her coach Francisco Roig, as they have agreed to work together for the upcoming season.
She had her blood pressure taken while playing the initial match versus Ann Li in Wuhan and stopped playing when trailing 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
Another medical visit was necessary a doctor's assessment at the recent Ningbo Open, where she was defeated in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in round one.
She was also playing far from freely in the deciding set versus 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 top 30 globally after more than three years since her previous ranking, finished with a trio of defeats.
The athlete was close to victory with three match points prior to falling to Jessica Pegula in round three in last month's Beijing event.
Raducanu won twenty-eight matches this year and advanced to the semis in Washington, but the highlight of her season was at the Miami Open in March.
As Britain's top player advanced to the quarters of this WTA 1000 tournament, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way then falling in a three-set match to Pegula, ranked fourth.
She worked with Mark Petchey as coach from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role for the US Open.
The first plan with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was for the remainder of the year but the collaboration persists, with a training block pencilled in late this year.
She mentioned that the trial session with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they tried to keep the meeting secret.
The player was close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their initial event as a team in Cincinnati during August.
The coach also accompanied Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she reached the third round then falling to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
