Raducanu Retires from Korea Open Quarter-Final

Emma Raducanu's injury woes continued as she retired from her Korea Open quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina due to a foot problem after losing the first set 6-1. Despite this setback, Raducanu showed promise earlier in the tournament by defeating top-50 players Peyton Stearns and Yue Yuan. Her journey to the quarter-finals included a hard-fought win over Yuan, where she overcame a medical timeout and seven match points. Raducanu's recent performances indicate resilience, though injuries have repeatedly hindered her progress. Kasatkina, the world number 13, progresses to the semi-finals and will face the winner of the match between Diana Shnaider and Marta Kostyuk.
