Raducanu Retires from Korea Open Quarter-Final

Emma Raducanu retired from her Korea Open quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina due to a foot injury after losing the first set 6-1. Raducanu had encountered the same issue in her previous match against Yue Yuan, requiring a medical timeout. The match, initially delayed due to rain, forced all players to potentially play both quarter-final and semi-final matches on the same day. Raducanu had shown strong form earlier in the tournament, defeating top-50 players Peyton Stearns and Yue Yuan. Kasatkina will now face either Diana Shnaider or Marta Kostyuk in the semi-finals. Raducanu expressed her disappointment, and Kasatkina wished her a speedy recovery.
