TV GUIDE: How to watch DC Open Washington featuring Sabalenka, Raducanu, Jabeur, Shelton and Tiafoe
Tennis News
The North
American hardcourt swing begins on the road to the US Open with several top
stars of the Tour at the DC Open. The tournament is an ATP 500 and WTA 250
event held at the William Fitzgerald Tennis Center in Washington, running from
July 29 to August 4.
While the
Olympic Games are taking place on the clay courts of Roland Garros, several men
and women decided not to participate in Paris 2024 to avoid excessive surface
changes, due to injuries, or to expedite preparation for the US Open Series.
Notable players include Aryna Sabalenka, Ons Jabeur, Emma Raducanu, Frances
Tiafoe, Ben Shelton, and Andrey Rublev.
Rublev, Shelton and Tiafoe highlight strong field at DC Open
Russian
Andrey Rublev is the top seed, being the only top-10 player present in
Washington. However, the Russian is currently experiencing an inconsistent
phase, following his first-round exit at Wimbledon and a disappointing
third-round finish at the French Open a month earlier.
Americans
Ben Shelton (No. 14), Sebastian Korda (No. 22), and Frances Tiafoe (No. 29) are
among the players who chose not to travel to Paris, opting to quickly start the
hardcourt swing instead. Other notable participants include Karen Khachanov
(No. 21) and Adrian Mannarino (No. 32).
The
tournament also awarded wildcards to notable players, including Canadian Denis
Shapovalov and locals J.J. Wolf and Reilly Opelka, who will be playing only his
third tournament following strong performances at the Hall of Fame Tennis
Championships and the Atlanta Open.
Stacked draw at WTA: Features Sabalenka, Raducanu and Jabeur
On the
women’s side, the top seed is world No. 3 Aryna Sabalenka, who is recovering
from a shoulder injury that kept her out of Wimbledon earlier this month. The
Belarusian aims to regain her ranking position and is the top favorite as the
only top-10 player in the draw.
However, it
remains to be seen how she will fare in a draw filled with high-level players,
making it one of the most attractive WTA 250 events in terms of names this
season. Russian players Daria Kasatkina (No. 12) and Ludmila Samsonova (No.
14), along with Ons Jabeur (No. 16), complete the top four seeds, all of whom
will receive a bye in the first round, delaying their debut for a few more
days.
Several
Grand Slam champions will also be in the draw. Victoria Azarenka (No. 20),
Sloane Stephens (No. 45), and Sofia Kenin (No. 54) are among the key names,
along with prestigious wildcards granted to Emma Raducanu (No. 89) and Paula
Badosa (No. 62). The Spaniard will face a tough first-round match against
American Kenin.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026
- Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026
- Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
- Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
