Raducanu edges past Stearns to progress at Korea Open

EMMA RADUCANU battled to victory over American Peyton Stearns in the opening round of the Korea Open today.
A topsy-turvy contest featuring 12 breaks of serve eventually went the way of the former US Open champion after two hours and 43 minutes as she wrapped up a 7-6 (4) 7-6 (5) win in Seoul.
It was Raducanu’s first victory since she beat the same player in Washington at the end of July, with the 21-year-old’s only tournament in August coming at the US Open, where she lost to Sofia Kenin in the opening round.
