Raducanu reached the third round in three Grand Slam tournaments major tournaments in the current campaign.

Emma Raducanu from Great Britain has withdrawn from the last two tournaments in 2025 as a result of the illness she has been battling over the past 10 days.

At 22 years old was scheduled to compete in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to regain her health prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.

Those preparations will include trainer Francisco Roig, as both individuals will keep partnering again next season.

The tennis professional required blood pressure checks while playing the initial match versus Ann Li in Wuhan last week and retired 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 Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the first round.

She was also playing far from freely in the final set against Zhu due to the lower back problem that has affected her at times this year.

Those results followed a positive campaign, in which she climbed into the world's top 30 after a long gap since her previous ranking, concluded with three straight losses.

Raducanu had three match points before losing to Jessica Pegula in the third round in the Beijing tournament last month.

She secured 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.

The British number one reached the quarter-finals of this WTA 1000 tournament, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed during the tournament prior to a loss in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.

Her coach was Mark Petchey as coach from Miami until Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role for the US Open.

The original arrangement with the former trainer of Nadal was for the remainder of the year but they will keep working together, with planned training sessions late this year.

She mentioned that a three-day test period with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they tried to keep the meeting secret.

She nearly succeeded to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati in August.

The coach also accompanied Raducanu in New York, where she advanced to round three then falling to Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
