Hailey Baptiste of the United States will try to use the momentum of her huge win over Sloane Stephens against Daria Kasatkina of Russia in their second-round match on Thursday at the 2024 Korean Open. Baptiste sent Sloane Stephens to her sixth consecutive loss after topping the former US Open winner 7-6(4) 6-2. Baptiste came out on top over Stephens in a nip-and-tuck battle in the first set and then proceeded to win the second set in a dominant fashion. The 22-year-old American stuck in seven aces and won 82 percent of her first serves. Kasatkina will play her first match in the Asian leg of the WTA Tour since losing to Peyton Stearns 6-1 7-6(3) in the second round of the 2024 US Open. Kasatkina received a first-round bye after being assigned the No.1 seed. She is the tournament's highest-ranked player at No.13 in the WTA world ranking.
