Emma Raducanu at the Czech Republic v Great Britain - Billie Jean King Cup Play-Off

US Open champion Emma Raducanu will square off against German lucky loser Tamara Korpatsch on Thursday for a place in the quarterfinals of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart.

The winner will face World No. 1 Iga Swiatek in the last eight on Friday.

The eighth-seeded Raducanu made her tour-level claycourt debut on Wednesday with a commanding 6-1, 6-2 win over Australian qualifier Storm Sanders. The Brit was troubled by foot blisters during her loss to former French Open runner-up Marketa Vondrousova at the Billie Jean King Cup over the weekend.

But the 19-year-old had no issues during her maiden appearance at Stuttgart and needed only 70 minutes to win the match.

Tamara Korpatsch is a 26-year-old German player with a career-high world ranking of 107, which she achieved in 2019. Korpatsch has 10 ITF titles to her credit but is yet to taste success on the WTA tour.

The World No. 118 did generate some momentum coming into Stuttgart with a 13-4 win-loss record for the season. She won an ITF $25,000 title and finished as the runner-up at the WTA 125 Andalucia Open, in addition to reaching the round of 16 in Lyon.

Korpatsch lost in the final round of Stuttgart qualifying to Storm Sanders but got an opportunity to play in the main draw as a lucky loser. The German made use of her second chance to score a 3-6, 7-6(2), 6-1 upset win over Camila Giorgi on Tuesday.
