British player ends match early with foot problemRaducanu clearly struggling as she lost opening set 6-1
Emma Raducanu’s injury problems struck again as she retired from her Korea Open quarter-final against top seed Daria Kasatkina. The 21-year-old Briton had just lost the first set 6-1 when she withdrew having struggled with a foot issue.
Raducanu had previously beaten two top-50 players in Seoul en route to the last eight; the American Peyton Stearns and China’s Yue Yuan. Looking to make only her second ever WTA Tour semi-final, having also reached the last four in Nottingham in June, the 2021 US Open champion initially saw her match against the world No 13 Kasatkina rained off on Friday.
