The 2022 WTA event in Korea is the 18th time Seoul has staged a WTA tennis competition and it's going to be a good one.
It's a WTA 250 event with some decent prize money and a strong entry list with
Jelena Ostapenko as the top seed. The second seed is
Ekaterina Alexandrova but they are not the biggest names that will be in Seoul. It will actually be
Emma Raducanu who will also take part in this event looking to do a bit better than she did in Portoroz last week.
The Brit got a fairly decent draw with Uchijima in the first round. If she wins that matchup things will get a bit more complicated with Fruhvirtova or Wickmayer waiting in round two. These are all players Raducanu is expected to beat and it would do her really well to do so.
Eugenie Bouchard will also be here after entering the event thanks to her protected ranking. She did well in Chennai so she will try to bring the same level here.
