Emma Raducanu retires injured against Daria Kasatkina at Korea Open
British number two Emma Raducanu retired from her Korea Open quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina with a foot injury.
Raducanu struggled with the issue in the previous round against Yue Yuan and continued to look uncomfortable in the opening exchanges against the Russian top seed.
The 21-year-old needed a medical time out after the fifth game and decided she could not continue after losing the opening set 6-1.
Kasatkina will play compatriot Diana Shnaider or Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk in the semi-finals, which will take place later on Saturday after rain postponed play on Friday.

Vivianne Miedema: Manchester City summer signing to score against Arsenal ‘written in stars’
Miedema felt joining City was a straightforward decision and added: “For me football has always been really important but I have only made my football decisions based on two things – my happiness off the pitch and on it.
“When I spoke to [City manager] Gareth [Taylor] I knew the football was going to be fine. I’m still living in the UK, London is two hours away so it’s the perfect step. I’ve really settled in on the pitch and starting to get to know the girls off the pitch.
“Putting one and one together made this a very easy decision in the end.”
City came second in the WSL last season, missing out on the title on goal difference to Chelsea, with Arsenal finishing third, five points behind.
Taylor felt Miedema’s signing and her versatility made his squad stronger.
“We’re pleased,” Taylor told 5 Live. “Viv, we’re working on her in a number of positions and we know what she can bring. She has been known as a number nine or someone who plays behind a striker.
“So when you have these options at the top end of pitch like Mary fowler, Aoba Fujino, Chloe Kelly, Lauren Hemp, Bunny Shaw and players like Viv, Jessie Park, Laura Coombs, Jill Roord, Laura Blindkilde Brown, we’ve got talented players that can bring different options so we’ve strengthened a little bit in that area.”

Ange Postecolgou: Tottenham manager’s relationship with fans
Postecoglou inherited a team built by four managers in four years as the club struggled for stability following Pochettino’s sacking in 2019.
Harry Kane’s contract was running down and the striker was expected to leave, eventually joining Bayern Munich in a deal worth up to £100m.
No alternative was signed and his deputy Richarlison suffered an injury hit season.
Despite the signing of Dominic Solanke for £65m this summer, Spurs have been significantly outspent by rivals such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City on transfers over a 10-year period, according to a recent CIES Football Observatory report.
BBC Radio 5 Live pundit Chris Sutton – who admired Postecoglou’s work at his former club Celtic – said: “Postecoglou has been in for just over a season – so to think he took them from eighth to fifth is an improvement, while selling Harry Kane.
“We are [only] four games in and some of the nonsense I have heard after the game has been ridiculous.”
Postecoglou is focused on what he believes is right – whether it is popular with sections of the supporters or not.
His direct and open communication is refreshing but his single-minded belief frustrates some supporters, who wonder if he lacks the ability to change when his ideas are not working.
Yet, there has to be some appreciation that Postecoglou is a manager making decisions that are designed to be of long-term benefit, including making eight changes in the Carabao Cup to give minutes to the wider squad and young players despite risking defeat at Coventry.

Roma: Daniele de Rossi sacked after first four Serie A games of season
Roma have sacked manager Daniele de Rossi just four matches into the new Serie A season.
Roma, who hired De Rossi to replace Jose Mourinho at the Stadio Olimpico in January, have been unable to win any of their Serie A matches this season, drawing three and losing at home to Empoli last month.
Roma are currently 16th in the Serie A standings following their 1-1 draw at Genoa on Sunday.
A club statement read: “The club’s decision is taken in the interest of the team, to be able to promptly resume the desired path at a time when the season is still at its beginning.
“To Daniele, who will always be at home in the Giallorossi club, a heartfelt thanks for the work carried out in these months with passion and dedication.”
De Rossi’s tenure at Roma started superbly. In his first 11 league matches, Roma lost just once, picking up 26 points from a possible 33. That run took Roma from ninth to fifth in the table.
They also reached the semi-finals of the Europa League, being knocked out by Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen.
A sixth-place finish last season saw them qualify again for this season’s Europa League. Among Roma’s fixtures in Europe this season are a trip to Tottenham on 28 November.
This summer, Roma signed last season’s La Liga top goalscorer Artem Dovbyk from Girona, as well as experienced German centre-back Mats Hummels on a free transfer.
There have been a number of exits. Former Manchester United centre-back Chris Smalling left for Saudi Pro League side Al-Fayha, former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has joined AC Milan on loan and Romelu Lukau, who spent last season on loan from Chelsea with Roma, has joined Napoli.
Andrea Belotti (Como), Rui Patricio (Atalanta) and Leonardo Spinazzola (Napoli) have also departed in recent months.
As a player, De Rossi, who is now 41, spent 22 years with Roma between 1997 and 2019, making 616 appearances for them. He was also part of Italy’s 2006 World Cup-winning side.
The Friedkin Group, whose proposed takeover of Everton collapsed in July, own a 95.97% stake in the club.

Yankees vs Red Sox: Stats, head-to-head record & how to watch MLB on the BBC
Just 215 miles apart, New York and Boston are home to two of the most successful sides in Major League Baseball.
The Yankees have won the sport’s top prize – the World Series – more times than any other franchise (27), while the Red Sox are the third most decorated team with nine championships.
The two teams first played one another in 1903 but the rivalry gained serious traction when baseball’s greatest-ever player, Babe Ruth, was controversially sold to the Yankees by the Red Sox in 1919.
The Red Sox, who had won three World Series titles with Ruth in the side, had to then watch the New York side dominate the sport for most of the 20th century.
The era popularised the ‘Curse of the Bambino’ – a reference to Ruth’s nickname and a superstition Red Sox fans would carry until they finally won the World Series again in 2004, ending an 86-year wait.
Their most recent championship was 2018, while the Yankees have not won one since 2009.
