Raducanu advanced to round three in three of the four major tournaments during the season.

Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her remaining competitions in 2025 because of the illness she has been battling in recent days.

At 22 years old had planned to participate in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but has decided to fly home to regain her health ahead of launching next year's training.

These plans are set to feature trainer Francisco Roig, as they will keep partnering again next season.

Raducanu underwent blood pressure monitoring in her opening round with Ann Li in Wuhan and stopped playing when losing 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.

Another medical visit was necessary a doctor's assessment at the recent Ningbo Open, where she fell in a three-set match to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the opening round.

She was also playing noticeably restricted in the final set in the match with Zhu owing to a lower back issue that has troubled her during parts of the season.

These outcomes signaled a promising season, in which she climbed into the top 30 globally after a long gap for the first time since 2022, finished with a trio of defeats.

She held three match points before losing to Jessica Pegula in the third round in last month's Beijing event.

The player achieved 28 victories in the current season and reached the semi-finals in Washington, but her most impressive week was at the Miami Open in March.

As Britain's top player made the last eight of this WTA 1000 tournament, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way prior to a loss in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.

She worked with trainer Mark Petchey from Miami until Wimbledon, with Roig assuming the role ahead of the US Open.

The initial agreement with the former trainer of Nadal was until the end of the season but the collaboration persists, with planned training sessions in the coming months.

She mentioned that the trial session with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.

She came very close to defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at their first tournament together in August's Cincinnati tournament.

Roig was also with Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she made the third stage then falling to 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
