British tennis star Emma Raducanu ends the current season and will keep her coach for 2026.
Raducanu reached the third round in three of the four Grand Slams in the current campaign.
Emma Raducanu from Great Britain will not compete in the last two tournaments of the year as a result of a medical condition she has been fighting in recent days.
Raducanu, aged 22 had planned to participate in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but opted to return home to regain her health prior to beginning next year's training.
Those preparations will involve coach Francisco Roig, as they have decided to continue collaborating for the upcoming season.
The tennis professional underwent blood pressure monitoring in her opening round versus Ann Li in Wuhan and stopped playing when trailing 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
She needed once more a doctor's assessment at the recent Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to Chinese wildcard Zhu Lin in round one.
She was also playing with clear difficulty in the deciding set versus Zhu due to the lower back problem that has troubled her at times this year.
Those results followed a positive campaign, in which she climbed into the international top 30 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 American player Jessica Pegula in the third stage in the Beijing tournament last month.
The player achieved 28 matches this year and made it to the semi-final round in the Washington tournament, but her most impressive week was at the Miami Open in March.
The British number one reached the quarter-finals of this WTA 1000 tournament, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way before losing in a three-set match to fourth-ranked Pegula.
She was coached by trainer Mark Petchey between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role ahead of the US Open.
The first plan with the former trainer of Nadal was through the season's conclusion but the collaboration persists, with a training block pencilled in in the coming months.
Raducanu told that a three-day test period with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
She nearly succeeded to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their initial event as a team in August's Cincinnati tournament.
Roig joined her in New York, where she made the third stage before being beaten by 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
