The British player advanced to round three in three of the four Grand Slam events in the current campaign.

Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in her remaining competitions in 2025 because of the illness she has been fighting for the last week and a half.

Raducanu, aged 22 had planned to participate in events in Asia but has decided to fly home to regain her health ahead of launching her preparations for 2026.

Those preparations will involve trainer Francisco Roig, as the pair have decided to continue collaborating for the upcoming season.

Raducanu had her blood pressure taken in her opening round with Ann Li in Wuhan and withdrew when behind 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.

Another medical visit was necessary a doctor's assessment at the recent Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in round one.

Her movement was with clear difficulty in the third set against Zhu due to back discomfort that has been a concern on several occasions in 2025.

Such performances signaled a promising season, in which she climbed into the world's top 30 after more than three years in more than three years, concluded with three straight losses.

Raducanu had three match points prior to falling to American player Jessica Pegula in round three in Beijing last month.

The player achieved 28 victories this year and made it to the semi-final round in the Washington tournament, but her most impressive week was at March's Miami Open.

As Britain's top player advanced to the quarters of a premier WTA event, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro during the tournament before losing in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.

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

The first plan with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was through the season's conclusion but the collaboration persists, with a training session scheduled for the end of the year.

The athlete revealed that her three-day trial with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as the meeting was kept under wraps.

She nearly succeeded 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 made the third stage before being beaten by Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
