Emma Raducanu reached the third round in three out of four Grand Slams during the season.

Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in her remaining competitions in 2025 as a result of the illness that has affected her over the past 10 days.

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

Her upcoming training are set to feature trainer Francisco Roig, as the pair will keep partnering for the upcoming season.

Raducanu required blood pressure checks during her first-round match versus Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and stopped playing when behind 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.

She again required a visit from the doctor at this week's Ningbo Open, where she fell in a three-set match to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the first round.

Raducanu was also moving with clear difficulty in the deciding set in the match with Zhu due to a lower back issue that has affected her on several occasions in 2025.

Those results meant an encouraging season, in which Raducanu rose into the top 30 globally after more than three years for the first time since 2022, ended with three successive defeats.

The athlete was close to victory with three match points then was defeated by Jessica Pegula in the third stage in last month's Beijing event.

She secured 28 victories during 2025 and reached the semi-finals in the Washington tournament, but her standout performance was at the Miami event in March.

Ranked first in Britain advanced to the quarters of this WTA 1000 tournament, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way before losing in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.

She was coached by Mark Petchey as coach between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role in time for the US Open.

The original arrangement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was for the remainder of the year but the partnership will continue, with a training session scheduled late this year.

The athlete revealed that a three-day test period alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as the meeting was kept under wraps.

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

Roig joined her in New York, where she made the third stage before being beaten by Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
