Emma Raducanu missed three match points as former Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova fought back to reach the Korea Open quarter-finals.

British number one Raducanu will be left to rue a missed opportunity after losing 4-6 7-6 (12-10) 6-1 in two hours and 52 minutes.

Raducanu served for the match at 5-3 in the second set, having led it 4-1, and held a match point in that game.

However, Krejcikova broke Raducanu back and forced a tie-break – which Raducanu initially seemed to have dominated.

After racing out to a 5-2 lead, Raducanu found herself with two match points on the Krejcikova serve, but could not convert and the former world number two held firm to force a decider.
