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 casts doubt on her participation in the Australian Open in January, where she hoped to secure a good position.
Despite this setback, there is good news in the field of training. Raducanu and the experienced Spanish coach Francisco Roig have agreed to continue their collaboration in 2026.
The tennis player retired during 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 the doctor’s office.
Although she felt better and decided to participate in the Ningbo Open, she was not fully recovered, which resulted in a defeat in her first match.Raducanu, after winning the first set against Zhu Lin, showed signs of exhaustion in the second and had her blood pressure checked. In addition, she suffered back problems that limited her mobility.
It was scheduled to play at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo and the Hong Kong Open, but has chosen to focus on its recovery.
According to reports, Raducanu has been unwell for the last ten days and has decided not to push her body. She will now take some time off before returning to training with Roig, who was previously Rafael Nadal’s coach.
This season has been variable for Raducanu, with ups and downs both on and off the court. Despite this, she has managed to climb in the world ranking.
Raducanu has decided not to participate in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals and will seek to recover. In Asia, she only won two matches in four tournaments, facing close defeats.
Although her participation in the Australian Open is in doubt, Raducanu has moved up in the rankings, demonstrating her body’s ability to withstand a full season.
If he manages to maintain physical stability and continue working with Roig, positive results are expected in 2026.
