🔗 Share this article British tennis star Emma Raducanu ends this year's campaign and plans to retain coach for 2026. Raducanu reached the third round in three out of four Grand Slams this year. Emma Raducanu from Great Britain will not compete in her remaining competitions of the year because of the illness she has been battling in recent days. The 22-year-old was scheduled to compete in events in Asia but has decided to fly home to rest and recuperate prior to beginning next year's training. These plans will involve trainer Francisco Roig, as both individuals will keep partnering for the upcoming season. The tennis professional required blood pressure checks while playing the initial match against Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when behind 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day. She needed once more a doctor's assessment at this week's Ningbo Open, where she fell in a three-set match to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round. Raducanu was also moving far from freely in the third set versus Zhu because of back discomfort that has troubled her during parts of the season. These outcomes followed a positive campaign, in which she climbed into the international top 30 for the first time in more than three years, finished with a trio of defeats. She held three match points then was defeated by Pegula in the third stage in the Beijing tournament last month. She secured 28 victories in the current season and advanced to the semis in Washington, but the highlight of her season was at the Miami Open in March. Ranked first in Britain reached the quarter-finals of the WTA 1000 event, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way before losing in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula. Her coach was 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 a training session scheduled for the end of the year. The athlete revealed that her three-day trial alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as they tried to keep the meeting secret. She came very close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at their initial event as a team in August's Cincinnati tournament. The coach also accompanied Raducanu in New York, where she reached the third round then falling to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
