Yue Yuan Advances to Second Round of Korea Open; Xiyu Wang Clinches Victory at Thailand Open

China’s Yue Yuan secured her spot in the second round of the WTA 500 Korea Open in Seoul after a hard-fought victory over Romania’s Elena-Gabriela Ruse. Despite dropping the first set, Yuan, seeded eighth in the tournament, rallied to win 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.

Ruse, who recently reached the third round of the US Open, posed a significant challenge. However, Yuan managed to shift momentum after losing the opening set. Adjusting her strategy, Yuan’s deep, consistent groundstrokes and tactical variations enabled her to break Ruse’s serve twice in the deciding set. This aggressive approach proved crucial as she mounted a comeback to take control of the match.

The decisive moment came when Ruse’s return sailed out of bounds, securing Yuan’s place in the second round. The victory marked a strong start for the Chinese player as she seeks to make further progress in the tournament.
