Emma Raducanu ends season early, to stay with coach Francisco Roig next year

Raducanu has won 28 matches this year and reached the semifinals in Washington, but her most impressive week came at the Miami Open in March.

The British number one reached the quarterfinals of the WTA 1000 event, beating eighth seed Emma Navarro along the way before losing to fourth-ranked Pegula in three sets.

She was coached by Marc Page from Miami to Wimbledon, with Roeg taking over in time for the U.S. Open.

The preliminary agreement with Rafael Nadal’s former coach runs until the end of the season, but the partnership will continue with training planned for the end of the year.

Raducanu told BBC Sport her three-day trial with Roeg after Wimbledon was like a “black ops mission” as they tried to keep the meeting secret.

She came close to defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in her first match in Cincinnati in August.

Roeg also played with Raducanu in New York, where she reached the third round before being defeated by 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
