Her upcoming training are set to feature coach Francisco Roig, as the pair have decided to continue collaborating again next season.
She underwent blood pressure monitoring during her first-round match versus Ann Li in Wuhan and retired when behind 6-1 4-1 on a day with extreme humidity.
She again required medical attention at the Ningbo Open this week, where she lost in three sets to local wildcard Zhu Lin in round one.
Raducanu was also moving with clear difficulty in the deciding set versus Zhu because of a lower back issue that has troubled her on several occasions in 2025.

She worked with Mark Petchey as coach between Miami and Wimbledon, with Roig taking over for the US Open.
The first plan with the former trainer of Nadal was for the remainder of the year but the collaboration persists, with planned training sessions in the coming months.
Raducanu told that a three-day test period with Roig after Wimbledon was like a "secret mission" as the meeting was kept under wraps.
She came very close to overcoming Sabalenka, the world number one at the first competition with Roig in Cincinnati during August.
Roig was also with Raducanu in New York, where she made the third stage before being beaten by 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
