Citi Open Review, Osaka & Patrick split, Venus Williams’s Return

Citi Open Review, Osaka & Patrick split, Venus Williams’s Return

Lucy and Eugene are back after a little rest post-Wimbledon. Before recapping the brilliant Washington Open, we share our thoughts on Naomi Osaka parting ways with Patrick Mouratoglou. Osaka will be working with Iga Swiatek’s former coach Tomasz Wiktorowski for a trial period starting in Montreal.

Venus Williams was the story at the Citi Open. The 45-year-old brought the crowd and excitement to DC and made more history in the process. Taylor Townsend is the new doubles world No 1 following another title in Washington. Townsend is the first mother to be crowned world No 1! Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe met in the quarter-finals and the match delivered.

Action now turns to Canada where Coco Gauff, Madison Keys and Jasmine Paolini are among the top seeds in Montreal. In Toronto, Arthur Fils makes his long-awaited return. The Frenchman is joined by fellow seeds Shelton, Tiafoe, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Gabriel Diallo among others.
