Emma Raducanu advanced to the quarter-finals of the Korea Open by defeating eighth seed Yue Yuan 6-4, 6-3. Despite a foot injury requiring medical attention, Raducanu showcased resilience, serving 11 aces and breaking Yuan multiple times. The match was characterized by Raducanu's strong baseline play, an early break, and overcoming numerous missed match points. Yuan, ranked 30 places above Raducanu, offered stiff competition but ultimately fell to the Briton's assertive play. Raducanu's victory follows a challenging first-round win over Peyton Stearns and sets her up for a quarter-final match against either Daria Kasatkina or Hailey Baptiste.
