The 22-year-old tennis player Emma Raducanu wraps up her season and has decided to continue with coach for 2026.
Raducanu reached the third round in three of the four major tournaments this year.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has pulled out of the last two tournaments of the year due to a medical condition that has affected her for the last week and a half.
At 22 years old was due to play in Tokyo and Hong Kong but has decided to fly home to regain her health ahead of launching her preparations for 2026.
Her upcoming training will include her coach Francisco Roig, as both individuals will keep partnering for the upcoming season.
Raducanu had her blood pressure taken during her first-round match against Ann Li in Wuhan last week and stopped playing when behind 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.
Another medical visit was necessary a doctor's assessment at this week's Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the opening round.
Her movement was noticeably restricted in the third set versus Zhu owing to back discomfort that has been a concern during parts of the season.
These outcomes followed a positive campaign, in which she climbed into the international top 30 after a long gap since her previous ranking, ended with three successive defeats.
The athlete was close to victory with three match points then was defeated by Jessica Pegula in round three in last month's Beijing event.
The player achieved twenty-eight matches 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 advanced to the quarters of the WTA 1000 event, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed en route prior to a loss in three sets to the world number four Pegula.
She worked with trainer 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 late this year.
Raducanu told that her three-day trial with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
The player was close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at their initial event as a team in August's Cincinnati tournament.
Roig joined her in New York, where she reached the third round prior to losing to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
