British number one Emma Raducanu overcame her emotions to battle to victory against Jaqueline Cristian of Romania in the first round of the Korea Open.
Raducanu, who withdrew from Great Britain's team for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals to play at the tournament in Seoul, looked like she was on the verge of tears at one stage in the first set before going on to win 6-3 6-4.
The 22-year-old's emotions almost appeared to get the better of her after she had netted a forehand and faced two break points at 3-3 in the first set of a match which had been delayed because of rain.
