Emma Raducanu concludes the current season and will keep her coach for 2026.

Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in her final two events this season due to a medical condition that has affected her in recent days.
The 22-year-old was scheduled to compete in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but has decided to fly home to rest and recuperate before starting her preparations for 2026.
These plans will include coach Francisco Roig, as they have decided to continue collaborating in 2026.
Raducanu required blood pressure checks in her opening round with Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and stopped playing when behind 6-1 4-1 on a very muggy occasion.
She needed once more a doctor's assessment at this week's Ningbo Open, where she was defeated in three sets to local wildcard Zhu Lin in the first round.
Her movement was with clear difficulty in the final set versus Zhu due to a lower back issue that has troubled her on several occasions in 2025.
These outcomes signaled a promising season, in which she climbed into the top 30 globally for the first time in more than three years, finished with a trio of defeats.
Raducanu had three match points before losing to Jessica Pegula in the third round in last month's Beijing event.

She worked with Mark Petchey from Miami until Wimbledon, with Roig taking over in time for the US Open.
The original arrangement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was for the remainder of the year but the collaboration persists, with a training block pencilled in in the coming months.
She mentioned that a three-day test period with Roig post-Wimbledon was like a "covert operation" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
She nearly succeeded to beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka at their initial event as a team in August's Cincinnati tournament.
Roig was also with Raducanu in the New York tournament, where she made the third stage before being beaten by Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
