The Brit may have struggled to recapture the form that saw her win the US Open as a teenager three years ago, but she is through to the quarter finals at the Korea Open, live on Sky Sports Tennis.
She was due to face No 1 seed Daria Kasatkina on Friday for a place in the semi-finals, having beaten China’s Yue Yuan in the last 16, but her match was postponed until Saturday due to heavy rain.
Her quarter-final is due to take place around 6am UK time, after the first match at centre court at 4am.
The quarter-finals and semi-finals are schedule to take place on the same day, ahead of Sunday’s final.
Who else plays in Seoul?
Raducanu may be competing in Seoul but world No 1 Iga Swiatek pulled out ahead of the event, citing fatigue, while . defending champion and US Open finalist Jessica Pegula also pulled out with a rib injury
Swiatek is one of five current or former top 10 players who have withdrawn, along with Pegula, former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina (back injury), US Open semi-finalist Emma Navarro (change of schedule) and 2014 champion Karolina Pliskova (foot injury).
As a result of those four withdrawals, along with no Special Exempt place being used, Raducanu was one of five players to move directly into the main draw.
Here are all the key current questions after the Brit’s latest tilt at glory over in the United States…
How did Raducanu fare at this year’s US Open?
Raducanu was knocked out in the opening round of the US Open by Sofia Kenin in a battle of former Grand Slam champions in New York.
The USA’s Kenin had previously won the Australian Open. She sent Raducanu packing with a 6-1 3-6 6-4 victory.
Kenin ripped through the opening set by winning six straight games before Raducanu upped her level in the second set.
However, Raducanu ran out of steam, dropping serve with a double fault in the fifth game of the decider as she was broken and there was no way back from there as Kenin clinically saw it out.
