Wang Seeks to Rediscover Early-Season Form
Xinyu Wang advanced to the second round in Washington with a 7-6, 6-3 victory over qualifier Julieta Pareja. She squandered a 5-3 lead and saved three set points in the opening set before edging it in a tiebreak, a crucial turning point in the match.
The Chinese player enjoyed a promising start to the season, reaching the final in Auckland, the fourth round at the Australian Open, and the quarterfinals in Cluj-Napoca. However, her form has dipped sharply since February, as she has failed to win multiple matches in 12 of her last 13 tournaments, highlighting her struggles in recent months.
Wang will now look to rediscover the form she showed at the start of the hard-court season. This is already her best result in Washington.

Samsonova Produces Gritty Comeback
Liudmila Samsonova booked her place in the second round by coming from a set down to defeat the in-form Madison Keys 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. She overcame 14 double faults and recovered from a break down in the deciding set to complete an impressive comeback.
Like her opponent, Samsonova has also struggled for consistency in recent months, winning multiple matches at only three of the 12 tournaments she played between Doha and Berlin. She ended that difficult run by reaching the third round at Wimbledon.
Apart from her Wimbledon campaign, Samsonova also reached the quarterfinals in Brisbane and Abu Dhabi earlier this season.
She is now chasing her third Washington quarterfinal. Last year, she lost in the second round to Paula Badosa, but she reached at least the semifinals in her previous two appearances, winning the title in 2022 and reaching the semifinals in 2023.
