Emma Raducanu storms into Korea Open semi-finals with win over Linette

theguardian.com

Emma Raducanu reached the Korea Open semi-finals by comfortably beating Poland’s Magda Linette 6-2, 6-2 in Seoul. Raducanu sealed her third successive-straight sets win in the South Korean capital and has now won three consecutive matches at a tournament for the first time since her stunning US Open title triumph in 2021.

The 19-year-old will face the Latvian top seed Jelena Ostapenko or Andorran teenager Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva for a place in the final.

Raducanu, who fell at the first hurdle in defence of her US Open title last month, has slipped to 77th in the world rankings from a career-high No 10.

But the British No 1, who beat Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima and Belgium’s Yanina Wickmayer this week, has rediscovered some of her best form in Korea.
