Emma Raducanu v Barbora Krejcikova start time and how to watch Korea Open

Emma Raducanu continues her Korea Open campaign against former Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova in the second round in Seoul.

After a lengthy rain delay, Raducanu battled to a tough opening win over Jaqueline Cristian in the first round on Wednesday, winning 6-3 6-4 in just over two hours.

Raducanu’s match against Krejcikova will come as Great Britain take on Japan in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in China, with captain Anne Keothavong calling her absence “disappointing”.

But Raducanu is attempting to improve her ranking and a victory over Krejcikova would ensure she defends her quarter-final points from last year’s tournament.

It will be a tough test, however, with Krejcikova putting a tough year of injuries behind her by finding form and reaching the US Open quarter-finals earlier this month.

When is Emma Raducanu v Barbora Krejcikova?
