Emma Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four Grand Slams during the season.

Emma Raducanu from Great Britain has withdrawn from the last two tournaments in 2025 because of a medical condition she has been fighting in recent days.

Raducanu, aged 22 had planned to participate in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to rest and recuperate prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.

These plans will involve her coach Francisco Roig, as the pair have agreed to work together for the upcoming season.

Raducanu underwent blood pressure monitoring while playing the initial match against Ann Li in Wuhan and retired when behind 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.

Another medical visit was necessary medical attention at the Ningbo Open this week, where she lost in three sets to Chinese wildcard Zhu Lin in the opening round.

She was also playing with clear difficulty in the final set against Zhu due to the lower back problem that has affected her on several occasions in 2025.

Those results followed a positive campaign, in which Raducanu rose into the top 30 globally after more than three years in more than three years, ended with three successive defeats.

The athlete was close to victory with three match points then was defeated by Pegula in round three in the Beijing tournament last month.

She secured 28 victories this year and reached the semi-finals in the Washington tournament, but the highlight of her season was at the Miami Open in March.

The British number one made the last eight of the WTA 1000 event, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro during the tournament prior to a loss in three sets to the world number four Pegula.

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

The first plan with the former trainer of Nadal was until the end of the season but the collaboration persists, with a training session scheduled late this year.

Raducanu told that the trial session with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as the meeting was kept under wraps.

The player was close to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati in August.

Roig joined her in the New York tournament, where she made the third stage then falling to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
