Emma Raducanu forced to retire from Korea Open quarter-final due to this reason

British tennis sensation Emma Raducanu was forced to retire from her Korea Open quarter-final match against top seed Daria Kasatkina due to a left foot injury. The world number two had already shown signs of discomfort in her previous round against Yue Yuan, and the injury continued to hinder her performance during the Kasatkina match.

Despite breaking back after being broken in the second game, Raducanu’s movement on the court was noticeably affected, and her serve lacked its usual power and precision.

Following a medical timeout after the fifth game, Raducanu ultimately chose to retire, having lost the opening set 6-1. Kasatkina expressed her sympathy for Raducanu, acknowledging the frustration of sustaining an injury at such a crucial stage of the tournament. “I feel sorry for Emma.

It’s a pity to get injured, especially in the deeper stages of the tournament. I wish her a speedy recovery,” Kasatkina stated. With Raducanu’s withdrawal, Kasatkina advanced to the semi-finals, while Raducanu’s fans remain hopeful for her swift return to form.
