WTA 500 ATP 500 Washington DC 7/21 - 7/27 2025

For those who are thinking about picking Marta Kostyuk as an easy early round slam dunk in the US Open pool, she hasn’t won a match in two months.

[ptmcmahon]

Sounds like a dare to me!

[ponchi101]

And who in his sane tennis mind has ever picked Kostyuk as a safe slam dunk?
She is as streaky as they come. Watch her now reach 4R, and take some people out who will pick her opponent in 3R.

I kinda loved Venus' comment about her COBRA. When a very wealthy person is complaining about COBRA payments, says a lot about the industry.

Well, 20% of the Wimbledon pool for starters, although sanity is in question for all who participate

Her medical bills are probable quite high

[ponchi101]

Naomi loses to Raducanu 4&2.
It is not the losing. It is the scores. I know that Raducanu is very good on hards, but so is (was?) Naomi. This should at least have had a 7-5, 7-6 set, or had gone three.
She is not looking good at all (Naomi).

For those who are thinking about picking Marta Kostyuk as an easy early round slam dunk in the US Open pool, she hasn’t won a match in two months.

I was on that bandwagon at Wimbledon, but I never considered her a slam dunk in the match. Just a better possibility than many of the other choices. However, I was obviously wrong.

[ti-amie]

Leylah just held her nerve (and her serve) and breaks Pegula to win in three sets 6-3, 1-6, 7-5.

[ti-amie]

The crowd is trying to lift Venus but she's down 6-2, 4-1 to Frech...

Pleased with Raducanu's performance and delighted with Leylah's. They were never the one -off good players people think . But I do wonder if the court is faster than I thought on day 1..

Does the heat affect the speed of the court? If so it's much hotter now than it was in the beginning of the week.
