Emma Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four major tournaments during the season.
Emma Raducanu from Great Britain will not compete in her final two events this season because of a medical condition she has been battling for the last week and a half.
Raducanu, aged 22 was due to play in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to rest and recuperate prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.
Those preparations will include her coach Francisco Roig, as the pair will keep partnering for the upcoming season.
She required blood pressure checks while playing the initial match against Ann Li in Wuhan last week and stopped playing when trailing 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
She needed once more a visit from the doctor at the recent Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the first round.
Raducanu was also moving noticeably restricted in the third set in the match with Zhu due to back discomfort that has troubled 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 in more than three years, ended with three successive defeats.
She held three match points prior to falling to Pegula in the third stage in the Beijing tournament last month.
She secured 28 matches during 2025 and made it to the semi-final round in the Washington tournament, but her standout performance was at the Miami Open in March.
Ranked first in Britain made the last eight of this WTA 1000 tournament, overcoming Emma Navarro, the eighth seed en route prior to a loss in three sets to Pegula, ranked fourth.
She worked with Mark Petchey from Miami until Wimbledon, with Roig taking over for the US Open.
The initial agreement with the ex-coach of Rafael Nadal was through the season's conclusion but the collaboration persists, with planned training sessions late this year.
The athlete revealed that a three-day test period with Roig post-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 their initial event as a team in Cincinnati in August.
Roig joined her in the New York tournament, where she reached the third round before being beaten by 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
