Emma Raducanu Ends 2025 Season, Withdraws From Tokyo and Hong Kong

Her decision puts an Australian Open seeding at risk.

Overview

  • Raducanu pulled out of her final two events after roughly 10 days of illness and will return home to recover.
  • She retired in Wuhan after dizziness on a humid day with on‑court blood‑pressure checks, then needed further vitals and back treatment in a first‑round loss in Ningbo.
  • Her team confirmed she will continue working with coach Francisco Roig into 2026, with a pre‑season training block planned.
  • Currently ranked No. 29, she sits inside the top‑32 cutoff but could be overtaken before the Australian Open seeding deadline on 12 January.
  • Despite the abrupt finish, she logged a career‑high 50 matches and 28 wins this year, highlighted by a Miami quarter-final and a Washington semi-final.
