Britain's Emma Raducanu defeated Magda Linette 6-2 6-2 to secure her spot in the semi-finals of the Korea Open on Friday, reaching the last-four of a tournament for the first time since her triumph at last year's U.S. Open.
The 19-year-old Briton powered her way to a commanding 6-2, 6-2 victory in Seoul and will now face either top seed Jelena Ostapenko or 186th-ranked Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva. Raducanu stunned the tennis world when she emerged from qualifying to win the US Open last year, but she has struggled to build on that and her Grand Slam defence ended in the first round last month.
Emma Raducanu defeated Magda Linette in the quarter-finals of the Korean Open in straight sets, 6-2 6-2. The win for the teenage Briton is the first time she has won three consecutive matches since her sensational US Open triumph last year, after a season in which she struggled to match her 2021 form from New York.
Iga Swiatek's victory in the US Open saw her extend her lead at the top of the WTA rankings Monday while beaten finalist Ons Jabeur moved up to second.
Emma Raducanu has played down fresh injury fears after an emotional display during a practice session ahead of her US Open defence.
The 28-year-old, who had slipped to 79th in the standings in May, is back in the top 20 for the first time since March 2019. Garcia beat Kvitova 6-2, 6-4 in Sunday's final to win her first WTA 1000 title since 2017. Iga Swiatek retained her commanding lead as world number one despite losing to Madison Keys in the Cincinnati last 16.
Daria Kasatkina was rewarded for her victory in San Jose at the weekend with a return to the top 10 for the first time since 2019, when the WTA rankings were released on Monday.
The Russian, who climbed three places to ninth, beat Shelby Rogers in three sets on Sunday to claim her fifth WTA title on the hard courts in California. It is her highest-ever ranking and marks her first showing in the top 10 since January 14, 2019 after which she slipped to number 75 in October 2020, a period affected badly by the coronavirus. Iga Swiatek retains the number one spot with almost twice as many points as number two Anett Kontaveit.
