The Korea Open 2025 is gearing up for an exciting semifinal lineup, with the winner of the highly-anticipated match between Iga Swiatek and Barbora Krejcikova set to join the fray. The rescheduled quarterfinals match between the two tennis stars is scheduled for the day session of Saturday, September 20.

Swiatek, currently ranked World No. 2, is in need of her first title since being ousted early in the U.S. Open 2025. On the other hand, Krejcikova has been in fine form, having won her way through a tough match against Emma Raducanu before the quarterfinals.

The rescheduling of the Korea Open quarterfinals has created a hectic schedule for the rest of the players. The rest of the single matches have also been rescheduled to the day session of Saturday, September 20. The quarterfinals of the doubles were played indoors, while the singles play was cancelled due to the rescheduling.

The notable reunion of the Czech duo Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova took place in the doubles competition. The pair, who won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, are aiming to add another title to their impressive resume.

The rescheduled match between Swiatek and Krejcikova will take place during the day session, while the semifinals are scheduled to take place later in the evening session, not starting earlier than 5 p.m. local time. The organizers hope that the Korea Open tournament will end on Sunday, September 21, weather permitting.

The semifinalists for the Korea Open 2025 will include the winner of the Swiatek and Krejcikova match. The exact opponent they will face depends on the outcome of their match. The Czech duo of Krejcikova and Siniakova will also be in the semifinals, facing Clara Tauson and Ashlyn Krueger.

As the weather forecast predicts mainly warm and sunny conditions on Saturday, fans are eagerly awaiting the rescheduled Korea Open quarterfinals showdown between Swiatek and Krejcikova. The winner of this match is sure to set the stage for an exciting semifinal and potentially the final of the Korea Open 2025.
