Raducanu advanced to round three in three of the four Grand Slams in the current campaign.

Emma Raducanu from Great Britain will not compete in her final two events this season because of a health issue she has been fighting for the last week and a half.

Raducanu, aged 22 was due to play in events in Asia but opted to return home to rest and recuperate before starting her preparations for 2026.

Her upcoming training are set to feature trainer Francisco Roig, as both individuals have agreed to work together in 2026.

The tennis professional underwent blood pressure monitoring in her opening round against Ann Li in Wuhan last week and retired when losing 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.

Another medical visit was necessary medical attention at the Ningbo Open this week, where she fell in a three-set match to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the first round.

Raducanu was also moving far from freely in the final set versus Zhu because of a lower back issue that has been a concern at times this year.

These outcomes signaled a promising season, in which Raducanu rose into the top 30 globally after a long gap for the first time since 2022, finished with a trio of defeats.

Raducanu had three match points before losing to Pegula in the third round in last month's Beijing event.

Raducanu won 28 victories this year and advanced to the semis in Washington, but the highlight of her season was at the Miami event in March.

Ranked first in Britain advanced to the quarters of the WTA 1000 event, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed during the tournament then falling in three sets to the world number four Pegula.

She worked with Mark Petchey as coach between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig taking over in time for the US Open.

The first plan with the former trainer of Nadal was through the season's conclusion but the collaboration persists, with planned training sessions late this year.

The athlete revealed that her three-day trial with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they tried to keep the meeting secret.

She came very close to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati in August.

Roig was also with Raducanu in New York, where she made the third stage then falling to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
