Eva Lys defeated Ashlyn Krueger 6–3, 6–4 in the first round of the WTA 250 Seoul tournament on hard court. Lys, the pre-match favourite at 1.68 odds, converted her status with a composed performance, breaking serve at key moments to secure both sets with relative comfort. Krueger, despite entering at 2.29 odds, could not mount a sustained challenge and struggled to find the consistency required to trouble her opponent. The German's victory maintains her momentum in the early rounds of the Asian swing.
