Raducanu’s match against Cristian is third on Centre Court. It had been given a not before time of 9:30am UK time, but Barbora Krejcikova’s match against Tatiana Prozorova, which is due to be second on Centre Court, has yet to begin.

Emma Raducanu returns to action at the Korea Open this morning, taking on Jaqueline Cristian in the first round in Seoul in her first match since the US Open.

Raducanu reached the third round in New York but was well beaten by Elena Rybakina. The 22-year-old is determined to close the gap on the best in the world and has set improving her ranking over the rest of the season as her main priority.

Raducanu has therefore skipped this week’s Billie Jean King Cup Finals in China to play in the Korea Open, where she is defending quarter-final points.
