Overview
- Promoters confirmed Jessica Pegula will take Emma Raducanu’s place in Newark and Miami exhibitions scheduled for December 7–8 against Amanda Anisimova.
- Reports describe light bone bruising in Raducanu’s right foot, with the player still able to practise and expected to begin a pre‑season block in Barcelona.
- Francisco Roig will oversee her preparations, and she has hired Emma Stewart, formerly with British Rowing, as her new physiotherapist.
- Coverage indicates Raducanu forfeits substantial appearance fees by skipping the unofficial events to prioritise full fitness for 2026.
- She ended her 2025 season early after physical issues in China and is still slated to represent Great Britain at the United Cup in early January.
