Emma Raducanu advanced to the quarter-finals of the Korea Open after defeating China's Yuan Yue 6-4, 6-3, setting up a potential match against top seed Daria Kasatkina. Raducanu, who took a medical time-out for a foot injury, overcame multiple match points to secure the victory. In her first-round match, Raducanu won against American Peyton Stearns 7-6(4) 7-6(5) in a tense, humidity-challenged encounter. The 21-year-old Brit, ranked 70th in the world, expressed pride in her performance, citing her ability to stay focused despite not having played many matches recently. The Korea Open has seen several top withdrawals, adding significance to Raducanu's progress.
