British tennis star Emma Raducanu ends this year's campaign and will keep coach through next year.
Raducanu advanced to round three in three out of four Grand Slams this year.
Emma Raducanu from Great Britain has pulled out of the last two tournaments this season as a result of a health issue that has affected her for the last week and a half.
At 22 years old was due to play in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to regain her health before starting her preparations for 2026.
These plans will include coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals have decided to continue collaborating again next season.
The tennis professional required blood pressure checks during her first-round match versus Ann Li in Wuhan and stopped playing when trailing 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.
Another medical visit was necessary medical attention at the Ningbo Open this week, where she fell in a three-set match to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round.
She was also playing with clear difficulty in the final set against Zhu because of back discomfort that has been a concern during parts of the season.
Those results meant an encouraging season, in which the player advanced into the world's top 30 for the first time for the first time since 2022, finished with a trio of defeats.
She held three match points prior to falling to American player Jessica Pegula in round three in Beijing last month.
Raducanu won 28 victories during 2025 and reached the semi-finals 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, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed during the tournament before losing in a three-set match to the world number four Pegula.
Her coach was Mark Petchey between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role ahead of the US Open.
The first plan 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.
Raducanu told that a three-day test period alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
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 New York, where she reached the third round before being beaten by 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
