Emma Raducanu ends this year's campaign and plans to retain trainer for 2026.
Emma Raducanu advanced to round three in three out of four Grand Slams this year.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her remaining competitions this season as a result of a medical condition that has affected her over the past 10 days.
The 22-year-old was scheduled to compete in events in Asia but chose to travel back to recover ahead of launching her preparations for 2026.
These plans will include coach Francisco Roig, as they will keep partnering again next season.
The tennis professional underwent blood pressure monitoring during her first-round match versus Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and retired when behind 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
She needed once more a visit from the doctor at this week's Ningbo Open, where she fell in a three-set match to Chinese wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round.
Raducanu was also moving noticeably restricted in the third set versus Zhu due to back discomfort that has been a concern during parts of the season.
These outcomes meant an encouraging season, in which Raducanu rose into the world's top 30 for the first time since her previous ranking, concluded with three straight losses.
Raducanu had three match points before losing to Jessica Pegula in the third stage in Beijing last month.
The player achieved 28 matches this year and advanced to the semis in the Washington tournament, but her most impressive week was at the Miami event in March.
Ranked first in Britain made the last eight of this WTA 1000 tournament, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed on the way then falling in three sets to the world number four Pegula.
Her coach was Mark Petchey as coach between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig taking over for the US Open.
The first plan with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was until the end of the season but the partnership will continue, with planned training sessions for the end of the year.
She mentioned that her three-day trial with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
The player was close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati during August.
Roig joined her in the New York tournament, where she made the third stage then falling to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
