The 22-year-old tennis player Emma Raducanu ends this year's campaign and has decided to continue with her coach through next year.
Raducanu reached the third round in three Grand Slam tournaments Grand Slams this year.
Britain's Emma Raducanu will not compete in the last two tournaments this season as a result of the illness she has been battling over the past 10 days.
Raducanu, aged 22 was scheduled to compete in tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong but chose to travel back to rest and recuperate prior to beginning her preparations for 2026.
These plans are set to feature her coach Francisco Roig, as they have decided to continue collaborating again next season.
Raducanu had her blood pressure taken while playing the initial match versus Ann Li in the Wuhan tournament and retired when behind 6-1 4-1 on an oppressively humid day.
She again required a visit from the doctor at the recent Ningbo Open, where she lost in three sets to Zhu Lin, a Chinese wildcard in the first round.
Raducanu was also moving far from freely in the final set in the match with Zhu because of a lower back issue that has troubled her at times this year.
Those results meant an encouraging season, in which she climbed into the world's top 30 after a long gap in more than three years, concluded with three straight losses.
Raducanu had three match points then was defeated by Pegula in round three in Beijing last month.
She secured 28 victories during 2025 and made it to the semi-final round in the Washington tournament, but her standout performance was at the Miami event in March.

She was coached by Mark Petchey as coach between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig taking over for the US Open.
The initial agreement with Rafael Nadal's former coach was until the end of the season but they will keep working together, with a training session scheduled for the end of the year.
The athlete revealed that her three-day trial alongside Roig after Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as they tried to keep the meeting secret.
The player was close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at their first tournament together in Cincinnati in August.
Roig was also with Raducanu in New York, where she advanced to round three then falling to Rybakina, champion at Wimbledon in 2022.
