British tennis star Emma Raducanu ends the current season and plans to retain her coach for 2026.

Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in the last two tournaments in 2025 because of the illness that has affected her in recent days.

Raducanu, aged 22 was scheduled to compete in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to rest and recuperate prior to beginning plans for the 2026 season.

Those preparations will involve her coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals have agreed to work together for the upcoming season.

The tennis professional underwent blood pressure monitoring during her first-round match versus Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when trailing 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.

Another medical visit was necessary medical attention at the Ningbo Open this week, where she fell in a three-set match to Chinese wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round.

Raducanu was also moving far from freely in the deciding set against Zhu due to the lower back problem that has affected her on several occasions in 2025.

These outcomes meant an encouraging season, in which Raducanu rose into the top 30 globally for the first time in more than three years, concluded with three straight losses.

The athlete was close to victory with three match points before losing to Jessica Pegula in the third round in last month's Beijing event.

The player achieved 28 victories during 2025 and advanced to the semis in Washington, but her standout performance was at the Miami Open in March.

Ranked first in Britain advanced to the quarters of this WTA 1000 tournament, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way prior to a loss in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.

Her coach was trainer Mark Petchey from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Roig taking over in time for the US Open.

The original arrangement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was through the season's conclusion but the partnership will continue, with planned training sessions late this year.

She mentioned that her three-day trial with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.

She nearly succeeded to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati in August.

Roig was also with Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she advanced to round three before being beaten by 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
