The Czech player defeated Nadia Podoroska in a come-from-behind semifinal win on Saturday to advance to her first WTA 250 final, where she will face third seed Magda Linette. Overall, the World No. 130 had a successful year, reaching the fourth round of the Miami Open and the second round of the US Open. Linda Fruhvirtova has a 29-18 overall season record across all levels. This is her second visit to Seoul. She made it to the final eight in her debut last year. She will enter the tournament with a lot of confidence. She should easily advance past the first round, but if both players win their first matches, she could face sixth seed Emma Raducanu in the second round.
Yanina Wickmayer has struggled with form in recent years and has been absent from the tour for an extended period of time. Wickmayer recently competed in the Chennai Open, where he lost in the first round. This year, the 32-year-old five-time tour-level champion is 18-13 overall. She has not competed in a final since winning her last championship in 2016. And it appears unlikely that she will be able to go that far anytime soon. The Belgian’s best performance this year has been a runner-up finish at an ITF event, while her best performance on the tour has been a run to the second round of Wimbledon after qualifying for the main draw.
