While they were competing in doubles, Raducanu and Rybakina couldn't hold their ground during their semifinal in Washington. The two players decided to stop the match at 1-4 in the first set against the pair Townsend-Zhang. A logical choice for them, as they were still in contention in singles. Additionally, the conditions in the capital are among the worst on the WTA calendar, with extreme heat and humidity:

"I'm not feeling very well right now. I need to see the doctors. At Wimbledon, it's hot, but it's a drier heat, and the sweating isn't the same. Today, even during the warm-up for the match, just walking makes you sweat.

Honestly, I think it feels even hotter watching the match because you're sitting still with no movement and no breeze," Raducanu said in an interview shared by Tennis Up To Date.

The Brit will now face Russia's Kalinskaya (48th), while the Kazakh will play against Canada's Fernandez (36th).

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
