It’s quarterfinal time in Seoul, with just one of the doubles seeds and the top three seeds still alive in singles.

With Aryna Sabalenka out of the next event, it’s an opportunity the next two weeks for Iga Swiatek to get a lot closer to the No. 1 ranking.

She does have the toughest opponent of all the quarterfinal matches, though.

(Seoul is 13 hours ahead of EDT)
