🔗 Share this article Emma Raducanu wraps up the current season and has decided to continue with her coach into the 2026 season. Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four major tournaments this year. Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in her final two events this season as a result of the illness she has been battling over the past 10 days. The 22-year-old had planned to participate in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but opted to return home to recover ahead of launching next year's training. Those preparations will include her coach Francisco Roig, as the pair have decided to continue collaborating in 2026. Raducanu underwent blood pressure monitoring while playing the initial match against Ann Li in Wuhan last week and retired when behind 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity. She again required medical attention at this week's Ningbo Open, where she was defeated in three sets to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round. She was also playing far from freely in the deciding set in the match with Zhu owing to back discomfort that has been a concern at times this year. Those results followed a positive campaign, in which the player advanced into the top 30 globally after a long gap in more than three years, finished with a trio of defeats. Raducanu had three match points then was defeated by American player Jessica Pegula in the third stage in the Beijing tournament last month. The player achieved 28 matches in the current season and made it to the semi-final round in Washington, but her standout performance was at the Miami event in March. Ranked first in Britain advanced to the quarters of a premier WTA event, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed during the tournament before losing in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth. She was coached by Mark Petchey from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role ahead of the US Open. The initial agreement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was through the season's conclusion but the partnership will continue, with planned training sessions for the end of the year. Raducanu told that her three-day trial with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they tried to keep the meeting secret. She came very close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their first tournament together in Cincinnati in August. The coach also accompanied Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she reached the third round prior to losing to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
