Raducanu made it to the third stage in three of the four major tournaments this year.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her remaining competitions this season due to the illness she has been fighting for the last week and a half.
At 22 years old was due to play in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to rest and recuperate ahead of launching plans for the 2026 season.
Her upcoming training are set to feature her coach Francisco Roig, as they have agreed to work together in 2026.
The tennis professional had her blood pressure taken in her opening round versus Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and retired when trailing 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.
Another medical visit was necessary a doctor's assessment 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 far from freely in the third set against Zhu because of a lower back issue that has been a concern on several occasions in 2025.
Such performances followed a positive campaign, in which the player advanced into the top 30 globally after more than three years since her previous ranking, concluded with three straight losses.
She held three match points then was defeated by American player Jessica Pegula in round three in the Beijing tournament last month.
The player achieved 28 matches in the current season and reached the semi-finals in the Washington tournament, but her most impressive week was at the Miami event in March.
The British number one made the last eight of a premier WTA event, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro during the tournament before losing in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.
Her coach was Mark Petchey from Miami until Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in for the US Open.
The initial agreement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was until the end of the season but the partnership will continue, with a training block pencilled in for the end of the year.
The athlete revealed that a three-day test period alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as they aimed to maintain secrecy.
The player was close to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati in August.
The coach also accompanied Raducanu in New York, where she advanced to round three prior to losing to Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon winner.
