British No1 Emma Raducanu will continue her Korea Open campaign today, facing Czech Barbora Krejcikova on Centre Court in the round of 16.
Raducanu is looking to get back to form after an underwhelming US Open campaign, where she was beaten handily in the third round by Elena Rybakina 6-1, 6-2.
And she made a fast start to life in Seoul on Wednesday, with a routine 6-3, 6-4 win over Romania’s Jaqueline Cristian, the world No41.
She wobbled in the first set, though, fighting back tears on court after a rash of missed serves, before rallying back to a comfortable victory.
Raducanu said afterwards: “I’m happy to have won today. It hasn’t been easy, you know. I’m super pleased with how I came through. Tough conditions, very slow long rallies, long points.”
Krejcikova sits at No39 globally, and launched her own Korea Open campaign with a one-sided opener against Tatiana Prozorova, whom she dispatched in just 76 minutes 6-1, 6-2.
