Impressive performance by Taylor Townsend at the WTA Washington 2025. The American will rise to the number one spot in the WTA doubles ranking next Monday after her victory in the semifinal against Emma Raducanu and Elena Rybakina (4-1 WO). The Kazakh and the Brit were forced to retire while trailing in the first set, but Townsend, alongside Shuai Zhang, had been having a great tournament. They defeated Nicole Melichar and Cristina Bucsa in the round of 16 (6-3 6-1) and didn't allow Venus Williams and Hailey Baptiste to surprise them in the quarterfinals (6-4 3-6 10-6). In the final, they will face Catherine Dolehide and Sofia Kenin. Townsend can already claim the title of being the first woman in history to be a mother and the world number one in doubles simultaneously.
