Emma Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four Grand Slams in the current campaign.
The British tennis star Emma Raducanu will not compete in her final two events in 2025 due to the illness she has been fighting over the past 10 days.
The 22-year-old was scheduled to compete in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to recover ahead of launching her preparations for 2026.
These plans will include coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals have decided to continue collaborating for the upcoming season.
Raducanu 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 very muggy occasion.
Another medical visit was necessary a doctor's assessment at the Ningbo Open this week, where she was defeated in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the opening round.
She was also playing with clear difficulty in the deciding set against Zhu due to back discomfort that has been a concern at times this year.
These outcomes meant an encouraging season, in which she climbed into the top 30 globally after a long gap for the first time since 2022, finished with a trio of defeats.
She held three match points then was defeated by Jessica Pegula in the third stage in last month's Beijing event.
She secured 28 victories in the current season and reached the semi-finals in Washington, but her most impressive week was at the Miami Open in March.
The British number one advanced to the quarters of a premier WTA event, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way prior to a loss in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.
She was coached by Mark Petchey as coach from Miami until Wimbledon, with Roig taking over ahead of the US Open.
The first plan with Rafael Nadal's former coach was through the season's conclusion but they will keep working together, with planned training sessions late this year.
She mentioned that a three-day test period with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" 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 Cincinnati during August.
The coach also accompanied Raducanu in New York, where she reached the third round before being beaten by Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
