In the middle of the tennis event at the Paris Games (July 29 to August 4) A WTA 500-category tournament will be held in Washington with the presence of the professional tennis players who refused to participate in the Olympic event.
Among them is Paula Badosawhich will debut with local Sofia Kenin. The Catalan, 65th on the list and who gave up on Palermo after reaching the last 16 at Wimbledonprioritized his career by seeking to regain a position in the elite of the racket that would allow him to be seeded in tournaments. Until the end of the season, he can only add points because he missed the second part of the 2023 season due to a back injury.
Badosa would have a hypothetical Russian in the round of 16 Liudmila Samsonovawho declined to be at the Games under a neutral flag, as did his compatriot Daria Kasatkinathe second seed in the Washington draw.
