Emma Raducanu vs Jelena Ostapenko live: score and latest updates from Korea Open semi-final

Welcome to our live coverage of Emma Raducanu vs Jelena Ostapenko in the Korea Open semi-finals.

Raducanu has won three games in succession for the first time since her stunning US Open win last year – but will have to overcome the top seed to reach her first final since that unforgettable Flushing Meadows triumph.

Raducanu is yet to drop a set in Seoul so far and played her best match to defeat third seed Magda Linette 6-2 6-2 last time out. And the British teenager is taking it all in her stride, describing her run as “pretty cool” ahead of the last-four clash.

The British No 2, who beat Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima and Belgium’s Yanina Wickmayer earlier this week, has rediscovered some of her best form since her US Open defence fell at the first hurdle.

Raducanu has slipped to 77th in the world rankings from a career-high of 10th but could return to the top 50 if she can win this title.

However, beating Ostapenko – the 2017 French Open champion – will be no easy task. The Latvian top seed was equally dominant in her own quarter-final victory over Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva.

But even if she does not progress to the final, Telegraph Sport’s tennis correspondent believes Raducanu’s improvement at this tournament offers promising signs for the future.

He writes: “Playing in this relative tennis backwater, Raducanu has finally gathered some momentum by collecting three victories on the bounce. Which, again, is something she hasn’t managed since receiving that $2.5m cheque in New York 54 weeks ago.

“Taken in isolation, none of her three wins in Seoul looks like a game-changer. But together they suggest that Raducanu’s confidence is gradually picking up after what has been an extremely testing year.”

The players are due on court at 7.20am and we will have game-by-game updates for you throughout plus all the post-match reaction.
