Emma Raducanu and Barbora Krejcikova have just given us what is surely the match of the week, a genuine thriller with plot twists that not even Tarantino himself would come up with. In the second round of the 2025 WTA Seoul, the British player seemed to have the battle under control: 6-4 and 5-2 up, she had neutralized Krejcikova's strengths quite well, but the Czech player didn't give up. She broke the British player's serve twice, saved three match points (one at 4-5 down and two in the tiebreak), won the second set in a 22-point tiebreak, and ultimately demoralized a very fatigued Raducanu in the third set. The final result (4-6, 7-6(10), 6-1) does not reflect the tension and nerves of a match that will leave Emma emotionally drained.
