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.

A heartwarming image from the WTA Washington 2025 tournament. Russian player Anna Kalinskaya defeated Clara Tauson 6-3, 7-5, securing a spot in the semifinals where she will face Emma Raducanu. What surprised everyone was when Kalinskaya's pet dog came onto the court to 'congratulate' its owner on the straight-sets victory. While we have seen tennis players' children come to the court to greet their parents on other occasions, a dog doing the same was a unique moment.

Scenes from a movie, and not precisely a romantic one, were experienced after the quarterfinal match of the 2025 ATP Washington between Daniil Medvedev and Corentin Moutet, with the Russian as the main character. Just moments after losing, Medvedev lost his temper and started throwing his broken racket and several metal bottles towards the stands. Although he didn't hit anyone, the Russian left the court to a chorus of boos.
