Raducanu’s erratic run after his US Open victory last year seemed to end at the tournament in South Korea, but he was again hampered by injury. In the second set he sought medical help, lost the set and in the third game he eventually withdrew due to a problem with his left buttock.
Ostapenko, winner five years ago at Roland Garros and this season in Dubai, will face the second favorite, the Russian, in the final Ekaterina Alexandrovathat eliminated the German Tatjana Maria through 6-2 and 6-4.
Like the Latvian, Alexandrova is looking for her second title of the season after winning the Den Bosch tournament. Both have met six times, with four wins for the Russian, the last in Madrid this year.
