Samsonova Looks to Revive Season in Washington
Liudmila Samsonova reached the third round at Wimbledon in her most recent tournament, marking the first time she had won multiple main-draw matches on tour since February, highlighting her struggles over the past few months.
The 27-year-old won just three matches across 12 tour-level tournaments between Doha and Berlin. Those disappointing results saw her fall from inside the top 20 to outside the top 60 in the rankings.
This will be Samsonova's fourth appearance in Washington. Her results have declined with each visit, winning the title on her debut in 2022, reaching the semifinals in 2023, and exiting in the second round in 2024.

Keys Eyes Deep Run in Washington
Madison Keys concluded the grass-court season by winning 10 of her 12 matches, her best stretch of the season on any surface. That run included the title in Eastbourne, a quarterfinal appearance in Berlin, and a fourth-round finish at Wimbledon.
She also produced solid results during the clay-court season, an encouraging sign after dealing with fitness issues and a disappointing Australian swing earlier this year.
This will be Keys' fifth main-draw appearance in Washington. She has progressed beyond the opening round twice, reaching the second round in 2013 and the quarterfinals in 2023.
