The 22-year-old tennis player Emma Raducanu ends the current season and plans to retain her coach into the 2026 season.
Emma Raducanu advanced to round three in three Grand Slam tournaments major tournaments during the season.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the last two tournaments this season due to the illness she has been fighting for the last week and a half.
The 22-year-old was due to play in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to recover prior to beginning next year's training.
Those preparations will involve her coach Francisco Roig, as they have decided to continue collaborating in 2026.
She had her blood pressure taken during her first-round match against Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when losing 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
Another medical visit was necessary medical attention at the Ningbo Open this week, where she was defeated in three sets to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the first round.
She was also playing with clear difficulty in the final set in the match with Zhu due to the lower back problem that has affected her at times this year.
Such performances 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, ended with three successive defeats.
She held three match points then was defeated by American player Jessica Pegula in the third round in Beijing last month.
The player achieved 28 matches during 2025 and advanced to the semis in Washington, but her standout performance was at the Miami event in March.
As Britain's top player made the last eight of the WTA 1000 event, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed during the tournament then falling in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.
She worked with Mark Petchey between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role ahead of the US Open.
The initial agreement with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was for the remainder of the year but they will keep working together, with planned training sessions in the coming months.
She mentioned that a three-day test period alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
She nearly succeeded to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at their initial event as a team in Cincinnati in August.
Roig was also with Raducanu in New York, where she reached the third round before being beaten by Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
