Emma Raducanu Ends 2025 Season After Health Scares in Asia

She will prioritize recovery with a Roig-led preseason.

Overview

  • The world No. 29 withdrew from the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo and the Hong Kong Open, bringing her year to a close.
  • Recent matches in China featured on-court medical checks for blood pressure, a retirement against Ann Li in Wuhan, and a three-set loss to Zhu Lin in Ningbo with a recurring lower-back issue in oppressive conditions.
  • Her team confirmed she will continue working with coach Francisco Roig into 2026, with a training block planned before the new season.
  • Raducanu finishes around the cusp of Australian Open seeding, with her place in the top 32 dependent on rivals’ late-season results.
  • Despite the early finish, 2025 was her busiest year with about 50 matches and 28 wins, including a Miami quarter-final and Washington semi-final, plus narrow defeats after holding match points against Barbora Krejcikova and Jessica Pegula.
