Eala Begins Washington Debut Full of Confidence
Alexandra Eala enjoyed an impressive grass-court swing, winning 12 of her 16 matches. Her standout result came at Wimbledon, where she stunned defending champion Iga Swiatek in straight sets to reach the fourth round.
Apart from a disappointing clay-court swing, she also produced strong results on hard courts earlier this season, reaching the semifinals in Auckland, the quarterfinals in Abu Dhabi and Doha, and the fourth round at both Indian Wells and Miami.
Those performances helped her climb to a career-high ranking of No. 28. She will now look to carry that momentum into the North American hard-court swing while making her Washington debut.

Zheng Returns Seeking More Momentum
Qinwen Zheng arrives in Washington with renewed confidence after reaching the quarterfinals in Athens a few weeks ago, her first WTA Tour quarterfinal since Queen's Club last year.
The 23-year-old has been struggling with an elbow injury since last season, which has significantly slowed her progress. This year, she has played only a limited schedule, with her best results being third-round appearances in Doha and Rome, along with a fourth-round run in Miami.
This will be Zheng's second appearance in Washington. On her debut in 2023, she suffered a straight-set opening-round defeat to Madison Keys.
