Emma Raducanu was bundled out of the Washington Open in a 6-4 6-3 semi-final defeat to Anna Kalinskaya. The British number one matched the Russian early, using her superior serve to pick up five aces. However, she was frequently unable to take full advantage of her firepower as she failed to convert any of her four break point opportunities.

Kalinskaya will face Leylah Fernandez, the Canadian, in the final. Fernandez was Raducanu’s opponent at the US Open final, with the Briton defeating her 6-4 6-3 on Arthur Ashe Stadium to clinch the title. Raducanu’s next focus is on Montreal, where she faces Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the first round of the WTA 1000 event.

WASHINGTON — Emma Raducanu reached the semifinals at the D.C. Open — the biggest tournament where she's made it that far since her surprising 2021 U.S. Open title — by eliminating Maria Sakkari 6-4, 7-5 on Friday.
