Emma Raducanu reached the third round in three of the four Grand Slam events in the current campaign.
Britain's Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her remaining competitions this season because of a medical condition she has been battling over the past 10 days.
At 22 years old had planned to participate in Tokyo and Hong Kong but has decided to fly home to rest and recuperate before starting plans for the 2026 season.
Her upcoming training will involve trainer Francisco Roig, as both individuals will keep partnering in 2026.
Raducanu had her blood pressure taken during her first-round match against Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and retired when losing 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.
Another medical visit was necessary a visit from the doctor at the Ningbo Open this week, where she was defeated in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in round one.
Her movement was with clear difficulty in the final set in the match with Zhu due to the lower back problem that has affected her during parts of the season.
Those results followed a positive campaign, in which Raducanu rose into the international top 30 for the first time for the first time since 2022, ended with three successive defeats.
She held three match points before losing to Jessica Pegula in the third round in last month's Beijing event.
Raducanu won twenty-eight matches this year and reached the semi-finals in Washington, but her most impressive week was at the Miami event in March.
As Britain's top player advanced to the quarters of the WTA 1000 event, defeating eighth seed Emma Navarro on the way then falling in three sets to fourth-ranked Pegula.
She was coached by Mark Petchey between Miami and Wimbledon, with Francisco Roig stepping in ahead of the US Open.
The initial agreement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was until the end of the season but they will keep working together, with a training block pencilled in for the end of the year.
The athlete revealed that the trial session with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "black ops mission" as they tried to keep the meeting secret.
She came very close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati during August.
Roig was also with Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she reached the third round then falling to 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
