The 22-year-old tennis player Emma Raducanu ends this year's campaign and plans to retain coach into the 2026 season.
Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four Grand Slam events during the season.
The British tennis star Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her final two events of the year as a result of a health issue she has been fighting in recent days.
The 22-year-old was due to play in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to rest and recuperate before starting plans for the 2026 season.
Those preparations will involve trainer Francisco Roig, as they have decided to continue collaborating again next season.
Raducanu required blood pressure checks during her first-round match against Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and retired when trailing 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
Another medical visit was necessary a visit from the doctor at this week's Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to local wildcard Zhu Lin in round one.
Her movement was noticeably restricted in the final set versus Zhu due to back discomfort that has troubled her on several occasions in 2025.
Those results meant an encouraging 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.
She held three match points prior to falling to Jessica Pegula in round three in the Beijing tournament last month.
She secured 28 matches this year and reached the semi-finals in Washington, but her standout performance was at March's Miami Open.
The British number one reached the quarter-finals of a premier WTA event, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro en route then falling in a three-set match to Pegula, ranked fourth.
She was coached by Mark Petchey as coach from the Miami event through Wimbledon, with Roig taking over ahead of the US Open.
The first plan with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was through the season's conclusion but they will keep working together, with a training block pencilled in for the end of the year.
The athlete revealed that her three-day trial with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
She came very close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati during August.
The coach also accompanied Raducanu in New York, where she reached the third round before being beaten by Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
