Emma Raducanu Ends Her Season Due to Physical Problems
British tennis player Emma Raducanu has decided to end her season early due to physical problems that have affected her in China. This decision calls into question her participation and whether she will be able to secure a place in the Australian Open in January.
The positive news is the renewal of the agreement with their coach, the experienced Spaniard Francisco Roig, with whom they will continue working in 2026.
Raducanu retired during the second set of her match against Ann Li in Wuhan last week, due to dizziness caused by the high temperatures and humidity. Subsequently, she posted a photo on social media from a doctor’s office.
Despite feeling better, Raducanu decided to play at the Ningbo Open this week, but she wasn’t 100% and lost her first match.Raducanu won the first set against Zhu Lin, but appeared fatigued in the second and had her blood pressure checked. In addition, she suffered a recurrence of problems in her lower back, which limited her mobility.
It was scheduled to play at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo and then at the Hong Kong Open, but has chosen to focus on its recovery.
According to reports, the former US Open champion has not been feeling well for the past ten days and has decided not to push her body.
Now, Raducanu will take some time off the courts before reuniting with Roig, who was Rafael Nadal’s coach and with whom she began working in August for a preseason training phase.
Raducanu’s season has had ups and downs, with a complicated start on and off the court. Despite this, she achieved significant progress.
Raducanu has decided not to represent Great Britain in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals and will seek to rebuild her path. In Asia, she only won two matches in four tournaments.
Raducanu has managed to climb to 29th in the world. If she manages to maintain physical stability and continue working with Roig, a promising 2026 is expected.
