Shnaider Eyes Return to Winning Ways
Diana Shnaider endured a disappointing grass-court swing, winning just one match across her three tournaments. The results were a setback after an impressive clay season.
The 22-year-old enjoyed the best Grand Slam result of her career by reaching the semifinals at the French Open. She also reached the semifinals in Adelaide, the quarterfinals in Charleston, and the third round at the Australian Open, Madrid, and Rome. Those consistent performances have kept her comfortably inside the top 20 in the rankings.
Last year, Shnaider played four tournaments during the North American hard-court swing. Apart from winning the title in Monterrey, she failed to win a match at her other three events. She will be looking for a stronger start this year as she makes her Washington debut.

Potapova Earns Maiden Washington Win
Anastasia Potapova defeated Venus Williams 6-3, 6-3 to reach the second round in Washington. It was her first main-draw win at the tournament after losing in the opening round in each of her previous three appearances.
The Austrian arrived in Washington on a three-match losing streak after struggling with illness during the grass-court season. She will now be hoping to rediscover the form she showed during the clay swing.
The 25-year-old dropped close to the top 100 after failing to defend her Cluj-Napoca title and making a slow start to the season. However, she turned things around by winning 17 of her 25 clay-court matches, highlighted by a semifinal run in Madrid and fourth-round appearances in Rome and the French Open. Those results helped her climb back into the top 30.
