🔗 Share this article Emma Raducanu wraps up the current season and will keep coach through next year. Raducanu made it to the third stage in three out of four Grand Slams this year. Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in the last two tournaments of the year due to a medical condition she has been battling for the last week and a half. Raducanu, aged 22 had planned to participate in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to rest and recuperate prior to beginning her preparations for 2026. Those preparations will include coach Francisco Roig, as they have agreed to work together for the upcoming season. She required blood pressure checks while playing the initial match versus Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when trailing 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity. Another medical visit was necessary a visit from the doctor at the Ningbo Open this week, where she was defeated in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the first round. Her movement was with clear difficulty in the deciding set in the match with Zhu because of a lower back issue that has affected her at times this year. Those results meant an encouraging season, in which she climbed into the world's top 30 for the first time since her previous ranking, finished with a trio of defeats. 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 matches during 2025 and reached the semi-finals in the Washington tournament, but her most impressive week was at the Miami Open in March. As Britain's top player made the last eight of this WTA 1000 tournament, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro en route then falling in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth. She was coached by Mark Petchey as coach from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Roig taking over for the US Open. The original arrangement with the former trainer of Nadal was until the end of the season but the partnership will continue, with a training session scheduled late this year. Raducanu told that a three-day test period with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they tried to keep the meeting secret. The player was close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at their initial event as a team in August's Cincinnati tournament. The coach also accompanied Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she advanced to round three before being beaten by 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
