An error-strewn performance from Polina Kudermetova as she competed in the biggest match of her career thus far, with the nerves being overwhelming. 46 unforced errors in a tough 2-6, 1-6 loss to Beatriz Haddad Maia, but overall it's a great run! [📸: Jung Yeon-je/AFP]

A first semifinal of 2024 for Veronika Kudermetova! It's been a long-awaited big result for Veronika after a tough year and she overcomes a resilient Viktoriya Tomova 7-5, 6-3 to reach the last four of the Korea Open!

Daria Kasatkina moves into her 5th WTA500 semifinal of the year at the Korea Open after Emma Raducanu was forced to retire down 1-6 due to a foot injury. Good stuff from Dasha but also not the way she would have liked to win. Wishing Emma a speedy recovery!

Superb win for Diana Shnaider as she comes through against a tough opponent, defeating Marta Kostyuk 7-6, 6-3 and moving into yet another semifinal at the Korea Open! Saved 3 consecutive set points from 3-6 down in the first set tiebreak, which ultimately proved pivotal.

Liudmila Samsonova and Nicole Melichar-Martinez are certainly rocking it this week in Seoul! They beat Jiang Xinyu and Wu Fang-Hsien 6-3, 6-4 to reach the final of the Korea Open which is certainly helpful for Lyuda after her singles opening-round exit this week.

Irina Khromacheva and Anna Danilina are into their 6th final of 2024 as a pair! They defeat Alicia Barnett and Madeleine Brooks 6-2, 6-3 to reach the final of the Thailand Open. What a successful year Irina is enjoying!
