Overview

• Raducanu lost 4-6, 7-6 (12-10), 6-1 after leading by a set and 5-3 and failing to convert three match points, including one while serving for the match.
• Krejcikova, who has a recent record of late escapes, saved the match points in a tense second-set tiebreak before running away with the decider.
• The result means Raducanu will forfeit the 48 points she was defending from last year’s Seoul quarter-final, complicating her push for a year-end top-32 position.
• Raducanu chose the Seoul wildcard over Billie Jean King Cup duty to work with new coach Francisco Roig and chase ranking gains, as Team GB advanced to the semifinals without her.
• Krejcikova advances to a quarter-final against world No 2 Iga Swiatek, while Raducanu is in line to play next at the China Open in Beijing.
