Aryna Sabalenka made her debut at the WTA Washington with more trouble than expected against Kamila Rakhimova, as the Belarusian ended up dropping a set to get past the first round (7-5 4-6 6-4). The tournament's number 1 needed to react strongly to the rise in level from a rival who found weaknesses in her opponent's game. However, Sabalenka woke up to find herself already in the quarterfinals, where she will face Azarenka or Wang.

Iga Swiatek was a bit entertained along the way, but finally managed to qualify for the semifinals of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after Danielle Collins withdrew. The world number 1 saw the American step up in a second set where Iga didn't quite shine as she usually does on these clay courts. However, the reactions of the Polish player to these situations are almost always impeccable, as she activated that alarm switch that made her rise to the occasion. The final set was a display of power from the Polish player, who will advance to the next round after Collins' withdrawal at 6-1 2-6 4-1. Now, Iga will fight to reach the grand final for the gold against Qinwen Zheng.

Iga Swiatek and Danielle Collins starred in a tense quarterfinal match at the Paris Olympic Games, which ended with a handshake accompanied by reproaches from the American. Throughout the match, there were some peculiar moments, with Iga accidentally taking a hit to the stomach and the American showing frustration with her opponent's delay in serving. However, when the match ended with the American withdrawing due to injury, she had some words for Iga to express her grievances. We don’t know what Collins said, but she later stated: "I told Iga she didn't need to be hypocritical about my injury. A lot of things happen on camera, and there are many charismatic people who act one way in front of the camera and another way in the locker room. I simply haven't had the best experience, and I don't feel anyone should be hypocritical. They can be as they are, I accept it, and I don’t need falseness."
