Command Analysis

Paula Badosa

Badosa successfully played the grass section and confidently moved on to hard. In Washington, the Spanish tennis player started with a victory over Kenin (6-1, 7-6). In the second round, she had a match against Samsonova, in which the Russian withdrew from the game after the first set. Quite expectedly, the most difficult meeting was in the quarterfinals with Raducanu. The game was largely equal, in the end Paula managed to get away from the score 0:40 on her serve, after which, in a fit of courage, she "finished off" Emma (4-6, 7-5, 6-4).

Caroline Dolehide

Dolehide made it to the semifinals in Washington quite unexpectedly. The American hasn't been playing consistently for a long time, but now she's caught a decent streak on her home courts. In the first two matches, she broke the resistance of Tsurenko and Kasatkina in three sets. Then, in the quarterfinals, in a confrontation with Anisimova, much was decided in a tie-break in the first set (7-6, 6-1).
