Raducanu reached the third round in three Grand Slam tournaments Grand Slam events this year.

Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her final two events of the year due to a medical condition that has affected her over the past 10 days.

At 22 years old was due to play in Tokyo and Hong Kong but has decided to fly home to recover before starting her preparations for 2026.

These plans will involve trainer Francisco Roig, as the pair have agreed to work together again next season.

She required blood pressure checks during her first-round match versus Ann Li in Wuhan last week and retired when behind 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.

She again required a visit from the doctor at the Ningbo Open this week, where she lost in three sets to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round.

Her movement was far from freely in the deciding set in the match with Zhu because of back discomfort that has troubled her on several occasions in 2025.

Those results meant an encouraging season, in which she climbed into the international top 30 for the first time for the first time since 2022, ended with three successive defeats.

Raducanu had three match points prior to falling to Pegula in the third stage in Beijing last month.

She secured twenty-eight matches in the current season and reached the semi-finals in the Washington tournament, but her standout performance was at the Miami event in March.

As Britain's top player reached the quarter-finals of this WTA 1000 tournament, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro en route before losing in three sets to the world number four Pegula.

She was coached by Mark Petchey as coach between Miami and Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in in time for the US Open.

The initial agreement with the former trainer of Nadal was for the remainder of the year but the collaboration persists, with a training session scheduled late this year.

Raducanu told that her three-day trial alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.

She nearly succeeded to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their first tournament together in August's Cincinnati tournament.

The coach also accompanied Raducanu in New York, where she advanced to round three prior to losing to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
