Kalinskaya defeats Raducanu, reaches Washington Open final

Anna Kalinskaya defeated Britain's Emma Raducanu 6-4, 6-3 at the Washington Open to advance to the final, where she will face Leylah Fernandez. Kalinskaya broke Raducanu's serve late in the first set and maintained her lead to take the match, preventing a rematch of the 2021 US Open final between Raducanu and Fernandez. Fernandez overcame a set deficit to defeat third seed Elena Rybakina in a tight three-set match lasting over three hours, securing her first final appearance of the season. On the men's side, seventh seed Alex de Minaur won his semifinal against Corentin Moutet 6-4, 6-3 and will return to the top 10 after reaching the final. De Minaur acknowledged the match was challenging due to a lack of rhythm but was determined to advance to the title match. Both finals were scheduled to take place following the semifinals.
