Emma Raducanu posted a vibrant collection of photos from her time in Washington, D.C., capturing moments of sightseeing, training, and enjoying local cuisine. Her Instagram carousel included scenic views from the Washington Harbour and a visit to the Glenstone Museum, where she admired Richard Serra’s “Sylvester” sculpture. One image stood out with a beautifully plated Japanese-style seafood bowl that caught the attention of Nick Kyrgios.
Preparing for the Citi Open
Raducanu is currently in Washington for the Mubadala Citi DC Open, a WTA 500 tournament that kicks off the North American hard-court season. This marks her third participation in the event, and she’s competing in both singles and doubles.
Singles Match Preview
In the opening round of singles, Raducanu faces Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk. Kostyuk leads their head-to-head 2–1, with her latest win coming at the Madrid Open in a three-set match. Raducanu will look to level the score and advance to a potential second-round meeting with either Naomi Osaka or Yulia Putintseva.
Doubles Debut with Elena Rybakina
Raducanu is also debuting in doubles alongside Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. They’re set to play against the fourth-seeded duo Tereza Mihalíková and Olivia Nicholls, who recently clinched the title in Berlin and are ranked within the top 30 in doubles.
What’s Next on the Calendar
After Washington, Raducanu will head to the Canadian Open in Montreal, followed by the Cincinnati Open. These tournaments build momentum ahead of the US Open, where she’ll aim to recreate her 2021 success.
