**Korea Open Singles Quarterfinals Washed Out, Saturday Schedule Packed**
**SEOUL, South Korea –** Persistent rain has disrupted the Korea Open 2025 presented by Motiva, forcing organizers to cancel all singles quarterfinal matches scheduled for Friday. The tournament schedule has been significantly altered, with all four quarterfinals now set to take place on Saturday during the day session.
Top seed Iga Swiatek will renew her rivalry with Barbora Krejcikova in a highly anticipated match slated for midday (local time) on Centre Court. Following that match, No. 2 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova will face qualifier Ella Seidel.
On the Grandstand court, No. 3 seed Clara Tauson will battle Maya Joint, also at midday, followed by Suzan Lamens against qualifier Katerina Siniakova.
The semifinals are currently scheduled to begin Saturday evening, not before 5 p.m. local time. The winner of the Swiatek/Krejcikova match will face the winner of the Tauson/Joint contest. The Alexandrova/Seidel victor will then take on the winner of the Lamens/Siniakova match.
Despite the disruption to the singles draw, the doubles quarterfinals will proceed as planned indoors on Friday. Notably, seven-time major champions Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova will reunite as a team for the first time since the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, facing Jaqueline Cristian and Hsieh Su-Wei. Tournament organizers are hopeful for improved weather conditions on Saturday to ensure the completion of the revised schedule.
