MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Victoria Mboko will meet 2022 WImbledon champion Elena Rybakina in a power-mad battle that will be played in the evening, when it’s a little cooler here in D.C.

It will be the first match for Rybakina – at least in singles; she and Emma Raducanu pulled off a rather improbable win in doubles on Monday.

Other Canadian content is Cana-Kiwi Erin Routliffe, who is the No. 1 seed this week but playing with her bestie Asia Muhammad, not regular partner Gaby Dabrowski.

(Washington, D.C. is on EDT; Prague is six hours ahead)
