Leylah Fernandez's marathon of an upset sends her to the DC Open final
Three hours 12 minutes later, Leylah Fernandez, glistening with sweat from the marathon she had survived, could finally throw her arms in the air. She had been pushed to the brink and somehow returned from it. On another hot, sticky day at the DC Open, she was understandably exhausted. In the second set Saturday at Rock Creek Tennis Center, No. 3 seed Elena Rybakina served with a chance to win. But by forcing her lone break point of the match, Fernandez launched a comeback that took her to a 6-7 (7-2), 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-3) win and a spot in Sunday's final.

Raducanu, who will reclaim the British No 1 ranking from Katie Boulter when the WTA rankings are released on Monday, is also into the women's doubles semi-finals, playing alongside Wimbledon 2022 champion Elena Rybakina.

TV channel Raducanu v Sakkari will be shown live on Sky Sports Tennis in the UK. Sky Sports subscribers can stream the match online via the Sky Sports website and app. What Raducanu said after beating Osaka "I thought it was going to be a really difficult match. Naomi's won four slams, she's been world number one, won Masters," Raducanu told Sky Sports. "She's so dangerous and on the hard courts, I think she's particularly comfortable. "I knew I was going to have to play well and manage my own service games, which I'm really proud of how I did. I was making some inroads in her service game after I got used to it a little bit. "I'm really pleased with how I handled the ball speed and conditions here in DC." Who she could play next If Raducanu can beat Sakkari, she will up against either Clara Tauson or Anna Kalinskaya in the semi-finals.
