## Resource

The business end of the Mubadala Citi DC Open has arrived. In this episode, we unpack the biggest results and talking points from the men’s and women’s draws before previewing the semifinal matchups that will decide who reaches the Washington finals. On the women’s side, Jessica Pegula and Naomi Osaka remain in contention, but Diana Shnaider and breakout star Alexandra Eala are determined to spoil the party. In the men’s draw, Taylor Fritz is the last seed standing as Brandon Nakashima, Rafael Jodar and Alejandro Tabilo look to continue a tournament filled with surprises. We also give an honourable mention to Australian teenager Cruz Hewitt following his breakthrough week in Washington.
