–
Four seeds survived to the quarterfinals in Seoul, plus two Kudermetova sisters.
Kasatkina v Raducanu and Shnaider v Kostyuk are topnotch.
Except none of it happened. It was all rained out and the players will have to go for doubleheaders on Saturday (weather permitting).
On Hua Hin, not a single seed made the cut for the final eight.
Which – as we’ve reiterated before in this post-US Open cycle – means … a great opportunity for SOMEONE.
Don’t count out Laura Siegemund, who played a 4-hours-plus match earlier in the week.
(Seoul is 13 hours ahead of EDT; Hua Hin is 11 hours ahead)
