After an illness-hit close to the season, she doubles down on continuity with coach Francisco Roig.

Overview

  • Raducanu finishes the year as world No. 29, the top-ranked British woman, preserving her push for a top‑32 seed in Melbourne.
  • She ended her season early in October following illness during the Asia swing, including a retirement in Wuhan after a courtside blood‑pressure check.
  • The 22‑year‑old logged a career‑high 50 matches with a 28–22 record, highlighted by her first WTA 1000 quarter‑final in Miami and a WTA 500 semi‑final in Washington.
  • She confirmed she will continue with veteran coach Francisco Roig into 2026, crediting the partnership with providing a stable framework for progress.
  • Her first scheduled event of 2026 is the United Cup in Australia, where she is set to team with Jack Draper, as observers like Laura Robson stress that sustained health will determine further gains.
