Emma Raducanu Aims to Compete Often in Asia

Emma Raducanu is determined to maximize her match play as she competes in the Korea Open, aiming to recover from a disappointing US Open performance. After advancing to the quarter-finals by defeating Yue Yuan, her match against top seed Daria Kasatkina was postponed due to rain. Raducanu admitted to underestimating the importance of regular tournament play and expressed her desire to play as many matches as possible in Asia, where she feels comfortable. She acknowledged mistakes in her summer scheduling, leading to a lack of match practice before the US Open, where she suffered a first-round exit. With no ranking points to defend, Raducanu looks forward to upcoming tournaments in Wuhan and China, hoping to improve her current world ranking of 70. Raducanu's recent win marked her 20th victory of the season, demonstrating a potential resurgence in her form.
