🔗 Share this article The 22-year-old tennis player Emma Raducanu ends the current season and plans to retain coach through next year. Raducanu advanced to round three in three of the four major tournaments during the season. Britain's Emma Raducanu has pulled out of her remaining competitions of the year because of the illness that has affected her in recent days. Raducanu, aged 22 had planned to participate in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to recover ahead of launching her preparations for 2026. These plans will involve her coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals have decided to continue collaborating for the upcoming season. She underwent blood pressure monitoring during her first-round match against Ann Li in Wuhan and stopped playing when losing 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion. She again required medical attention at the recent Ningbo Open, where she fell in a three-set match to local wildcard Zhu Lin in round one. She was also playing with clear difficulty in the third set versus Zhu because of a lower back issue that has troubled her on several occasions in 2025. These outcomes meant an encouraging season, in which she climbed into the world's top 30 for the first time in more than three years, finished with a trio of defeats. The athlete was close to victory with three match points before losing to American player Jessica Pegula in the third stage in the Beijing tournament last month. Raducanu won 28 victories this year and advanced to the semis in the Washington tournament, but her most impressive week was at March's Miami Open. The British number one reached the quarter-finals of a premier WTA event, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro during the tournament before losing in a three-set match to fourth-ranked Pegula. She was coached by Mark Petchey as coach from Miami until Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in in time for the US Open. The initial agreement with the former trainer of Nadal was through the season's conclusion but the partnership will continue, with a training session scheduled late this year. She mentioned that her three-day trial with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps. She came very close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at their initial event as a team in August's Cincinnati tournament. Roig joined her in New York, where she reached the third round before being beaten by Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
